Dancing In The Moonlight (it's Caught Me In It's Spotlight) Lyrics - Thin Lizzy

When I passed you in the doorway 

Well you took me with a glance 

I should have took that last bus home 

But I asked you for a dance 

Now we go steady to the pictures 

I always get chocolate stains on my pants 

And my father he's going crazy 

He says I'm living in a trance 

But I'm dancing in the moonlight 

It's caught me in its spotlight 

It's alright, alright 

Dancing in the moonlight 

On this long hot summer night 

It's three o'clock in the morning 

And I'm on the streets again 

I disobeyed another warning 

I should have been in by ten 

Now I won't get out until Sunday 

I'll have to say I stayed with friends 

But it's a habit worth forming 

If it means to justify the end 

Dancing in the moonlight 

It's caught me in its spotlight 

It's alright, alright 

Dancing in the moonlight 

On this long hot summer night 

And I'm walking home 

The last bus has long gone 

But I'm dancing in the moonlight 

Dancing in the moonlight 

It's caught me in its spotlight 

It's alright, alright 

Dancing in the moonlight 

On this long hot summer night 

Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight) 

It's caught me in its spotlight (It's caught me in in it's spotlight) 

Dancing in the moonlight (dancing in the moonlight) 

On this long hot summer night (It's got me hot) 

Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight) 

It's caught me in its spotlight (It's caught me alright alright alright) 

Dancing in the moonlight 

On this long hot summer night (It's so got them hot) 

Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing) 

It's caught me in its spotlight (I'm still dancing) 

Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight) 

On this long hot summer night...
