When I think about the house on jackson street
i get to thinkin' about jack and you and me
cruisin' round all night long in the wild, wild blue
then jackie went away somewhere
he made tracks right out of there
and that was the last I saw of jack and you
and jack got in his trouble and he took it kinda hard
and the last time that I saw him he said give you his regards
we kicked around some laugh, we had a few
well I thought I'd look you up
I know you've had enough
but baby I'm still right here for you
and I don't want to believe
that our dancing days are over
you don't want to believe
in a life outside your door
baby listen to me
there's someone here who loves you
and I don't want to be without you any more
in our dancing days (in our dancing days)

I heard you're workin' now, you got yourself a job
I knew manhattan couldn't keep you down for long
I knew you'd find your way around in this old town
that ain't no life for you
what about the wild blue
I can't stand to think of you with your feet stuck to the ground

and I don't want to believe
that our dancing days are over
you don't want to believe
in a life outside your door
baby listen to me
there's someone here who loves you
and I don't want to be without you any more
in our dancing days (in our dancing days)
so go ahead and dance

dancing days, these are the dancing days
these are our dancing days
dancing days, these are the dancing days

dancing days, these are the dancing days
these are our dancing days
dancing days, these are the dancing days

so go ahead and dance
dancing days
dancing days
