Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:21
We was at a rock'n'roll dance having nothing but fun

And we rolled, reelin' and a rockin'
We was reelin' and rockin'
Rollin' till the break of dawn

Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:32
There's nothing I'd rather do than dance with you

Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:43
And everytime I spinned she spinned with me

Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:54
I said, " Dance ballerina girl, go go go!"

Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:05
Man, I didn't know if I was dead or alive

Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:26
But I'm gonna keep on dancing toll I get my kicks

Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:28
I gotta get my kicks before it get too late

Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:29
I had to hold her hand, she was still holding mine

Well I looked at my watch and to my surprise
I was dancing with a woman that was twice my size

Well I looked at my watch and it was time to go
The bandleader said " We ain't playing no more "
