Lyrics for All You Want To Do Is Dance as interpreted by fletch699

All You Want To Do Is Dance Lyrics
Oh, baby you don't get turned on by the radio
Oh, baby you got nothin' to play on your stereo
"Why don't the Beatles get back together?
Why don't nobody sing of romance?
Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance

Oh, baby I think you are lost in the seventies
Oh, baby the music she ain't what she used to be
You don't understand what they're saying
Givin' it ev'ry chance
Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance

Well, you wish you were back in the good old days
When tomatoes were cheaper
And you never heard the words of your favorite songs
Through a three inch speaker
And you never messed around with dangerous drugs
You were all getting sick on beer
And you didn't get any unless you went steady and made out for a year

You can hide away honey in your rock 'n' roll dreams
An' you can stand by your blue suede shoes
But the party is over and I'm getting tired of waiting for you

Oh, baby where are the oldies they used to play
Oh, baby you want to crawl back into yesterday
You don't want to deal with the future
You don't want to make any plans
Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance
Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance

I love the ooo lalala after the 'Beatles line (a la 'Nowhere Man' or 'You Won't See Me'). I often thought this would be a good cover tune for a newer band but I guess some of the lyrics are somewhat dated. Aaahhh, to be back in the good old days, 'when tomatoes were cheaper'. just the right amount of cheese as always Bill.

This song is one of my personal favourites. It is filled with great lines, but my favourite line has to be "I think you are lost in the seventies". This is many years later, but I'm still stuck there... Despite the fact that I was born in '93!!

A great song, a great artist. That sums Billy Joel and his music up.
