Not knowing these people for the first time you meet
Up and down on the dance floor strange kind of greet
Jumping up and down to strange sorts of noises
Really finding it hard to understand the voices

Wonderful impressions made on the first dance
Absolutely no chance of any kind of romance
Still hopes are pursued as the evening progresses
Looking at all those girls in their little black dresses

Feelings of euphoria can’t be settled down
Even when looking at that woman suitably dressed in her red gown
Total excitement in abundance from every corner
Makes the evening go on and you feel stronger

Illuminating lights give that feeling of hope
People now wandering about with no after effects of smoke
Air to easily breathe, a freshness of smell
It’s all about life, no need to think of hell

The band strike ups again, chords making sense
On the basis of more drink consumed, the dancing’s more intense
Some of the moves made, resemble a martial art
A circle of the dance floor brings them back to the start

Still more drink consumed, dancing now like strictly
Alcohol fuelled participants moving oh so quickly
Comparisons made on the night ensure a lasting thought
Especially in the morning light after all the drinks bought

It only happens once a year, so why all the excitement
People in all sorts of outfits, none could be complacent
Just a total once off and remarkably no fright
On after all at this time of year, a truly festive night
