Yo Louis!
Oh, no you don't!
You ain't dancin' for all these men
I thought you said you quit that
You told me you was goin' to your mother's
You get down from there, right now, all right?
Right now!
Where are your clothes at?
God it's hot in here!
Honey you can stay here, but don't bother home along tonight
Your clothes are going out the window
All your posse are gonna know tomorrow
I'll tell your mother
Oh, no you don't, you ain't dancin' for all these men
It's over!

The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on 
Loved dancing, all night long
The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on 
Loved dancing, all night long
The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on

The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on 
Loved dancing, all night long
The boy...
