Ballroom Floor Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, no one didn't tell you as to roam the streets
But that's what happen when your Rub-a-Dubbin' get sweet
Your locks so tight
You don't even know when it's morning
The music so right
You don't even care about the dawning

[Chorus]
How does it feel to have been on the ballroom floor?
Or do you feel like you could-a rock some more?
For a strictly Rub-a-Dub for sure
An' di Dub an' di Waltz galore

[Verse 2]
So you skank 'til you're weary, but you've got to stay awake
Your waistline get dreary, you couldn't give it a break
But you're 'round di worldee and you're Rub-a-Dubbin'
You head is skanking, and your daylight jammin'

[Chorus]
How does it feel to have been on the ballroom floor?
Or do you feel like you could-a rock some more?
For a strictly Rub-a-Dub for sure
An' di Dub an' di Waltz galore (Yeah now, yeah now)
[Verse 3]
Hey, no one didn't tell you as to roam the streets
But that's what happen when your Rub-a-Dubbin' get sweet
Your locks so tight
You don't even know when it's morning
The music so right
You don't even care about the dawning

[Outro]
How does it feel to have been on the ballroom floor?
Or do you feel like you could-a rock some more?
For a strictly Rub-a-Dub for sure
An' di Dub an' di Waltz galore

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
