Music and lights
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da

Forget your sorrow let it all fade away
Forget tomorrow let's start livin' for today
Let me take you through a night of ecstasy
I like to hear the sound of a mystic melody

In the spotlight with the music playing loud
No distraction, together we have found
Let me show you all the glamour and the gold
Secret fantasies in a show biz world

Music and lights
I'll sing and dance for you all night
Sequins and pearls
And lots of pretty girls
You gotta have rhythm

Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da

Whenever you're dancing and you glide back across the floor
Your heart is singin' and they're calling out for more
Let me take you through a night of ecstasy
I like to hear the sound of a mystic melody

Music and lights
I'll sing and dance for you all night
Sequins and pearls
And lots of pretty girls
You gotta have rhythm

Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da

Music and lights
I'll sing and dance for you all night
Sequins and pearls
And lots of pretty girls
Give me rhythm

Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da

Forget your sorrow, let it all fade away
Forget tomorrow, let's start livin' for today
Let me show you all the glamour and the gold
Secret fantasies in a show biz world

Music and lights
I'll sing and dance for you all night
Sequins and pearls
And lots of pretty girls
You gotta have rhythm

Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da

Music and lights
I'll sing and dance for you all night
Sequins and pearls
And lots of pretty girls
Give me rhythm,

Da, da, da, da, da, da (Give me)
Da, da, da, da, da, da

Music and lights
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Sequins and pearls
Da, da, da, da, da, da
You gotta have rhythm
