One hundred and twenty five
beats to, beats to the minute
one hundred and twenty five
you get the notion with the motion
then youand're out on the floor
Fahrenheit, one hundred and two
centigrade, itand's getting to you
your heart is beating, eight to the bar
you canand't control it so you hold it
then youand're out on the floor
On the floor
you feel it coming to ya
on the floor
you know itand's getting through ya
on the floor
you canand't control the feeling
let it go
See the faces passing
smile in time
see the faces passing
all in line
you say, hey! can i take you home tonight?
but she knows that youand're throwinand' a line
sheand's heard it before, sheand'll hear it again
itand's the same pitch every time
change your line of patter
make her laugh, not at her
change your line of patter
make her laugh, not at her
She tells you her friend wants to say hello
but say that you donand't want to know
itand's her that youand're throwing your glances to
her that you want to know
donand't let her stray itand's a saturday night
the boys are after trouble
youand're in for a fight
One hundred and twenty five
beats to, beats to the minute
one hundred and twenty five
you get the motion with the notion
then youand're out on the floor
Fahrenheit, one hundred and two
centigrade, itand's getting to you
your heart is beating, eight to the bar
you canand't control it so you hold it
then youand're out on the floor
Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae
See the faces passing
smile in time
she says if youand're lookinand' to take her home
well iand'd better not be in late
but the look on her face
and the smile in her eyes say
baby iand'm gonna wait
see the faces swimming
hear the music dimming
well iand'm all danced out, iand'm all done in
and iand'm starting to talk out of tune
we can go on a ride, we can jump in a boat
we can dance by the light of the moon
one hundred and twenty five
beats to, beats to the minute
