Every day when the work is behind you And the shop and the store put the lock on the door Just get away where your worries won't find you If you like, well I'll tell you more Don't let the day get the better of you When the evening comes there's so much to do You better put on your best and wear a smile Just come along with me awhile, 'cause I tell you I know a place where the music is fine And the lights are always low I know a place where we can go At the door there's a man who will greet you Then you go downstairs to some tables and chairs Soon I'm sure you'll be tappin' your feet Because the beat is the greatest there All around there are girls and boys It's a swingin' place, a cellar full of noise It's got an atmosphere of its own somehow You gotta come along right now 'cause I tell you I know a place where the music is fine And the lights are always low I know a place where we can go Well, all around there are girls and boys It's a swingin' place, a cellar full of noise It's got an atmosphere of its own somehow You gotta come along right now 'cause I tell you I know a place where the music is fine And the lights are always low I know a place where we can go I know a place where we can go I know a place where the lights are low You gotta love this place I know I know a place where we can go
