Everybody's dancing
To the farfisa beat
All the girls are crazy
Acting out the heat
Tie and shirts and cuff links
Well that's pretty neat

[Chorus]
Flash flash mirror ball
Stereo and disco
Wow wow ain't she tall
Moved off my feet
To the farfisa beat

Pulling my side glances
To the one across the way
She wears a lot of makeup
But they all do these days
Pretty horny tee shirt
Well might you explain

[Chorus: x2]

Beat for beat for beat for all
Cut there in the yea
Everybody's got their girl
So is there any spare
For five foot seven
Of heavy duty wear

[Chorus]

Moved Off My Feet To The
Moved Off My Feet To The

[Chorus]
