Boys, go and shine up your shoes
Girls, run and powder your nose
´Cause tonight you´ll be shaking
From your head down to your toes

Well feeling your cool is as good as looking it
Thinking you´re cool is as good as knowing it
Playing it cool is as good as blowing it
You know you can´t spend a dollar, if you
Ain´t got a dime
You can´t hook a fish if you ain´t got a line
You won´t catch the bus if you´re not there in time

So go read up your books and sharpen your hooks
Then all you need is money
And a mouth full of honey
And if you play your cards right
After dancing all night
You won´t have to walk home alone
You won´t have to walk home alone

Boys, you can hang loose and slip up real cool

But if your lady has a love noose she might never let you go
And if you think maybe you´re too young
And you just can´t cope, just grab a razor sharp
Pair of cutting shears and cut a hole right in the rope
Snip a hole right in the rope

Boys, go and shine up your shoes
Girls, run and powder your nose
´Cause tonight you´ll be shaking
From your head down to your toes

Well if you wake up tomorrow morning
Can´t remember what you did
Just ring up some of your friends
And they´ll tell you just how low you slid
Oh don´t be ashamed of anything you hear

After all you can´t be blamed when you´re drinking
So much beer

Hey, don´t worry that what you did just wasn´t right
Just remember, brothers and sisters
After everyday´s another night
After everyday´s another night

Boys, go and shine up your shoes
Girls, run and powder your nose
´Cause tonight you´ll be shaking
From your head down to your toes
(Repeat)
