The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
It's getting late
It's time to get things goin
the club is packed
and people started showin'
We're lookin' good
it's time to have some fun
because tonight has just begun
I know that right now the music is sweet
Got my crew in the car movin' back and forth to the beat
Since The Night is Young
gonna dance the night away
Since The Night Is Young
doesn't matter how long we stay
Since The Night Is Young
gonna dance the night away
Since The Night is Young
doesn't matter how long we stay
Look at them stare
as we look in the room
we're gonna walk onto the dancefloor real soon
I'm feeling good
I'm ready to show the only way I like to move
I know that right now the music is sweet
Got my crew in the car movin' back and forth to the beat
Since The Night is Young
gonna dance the night away
Since The Night Is Young
doesn't matter how long we stay
Since The Night Is Young
gonna dance the night away
Since The Night is Young
doesn't matter how long we stay
know that right now the music is sweet
Got my crew in the car movin' back and forth to the beat
Since The Night is Young
gonna dance the night away
Since The Night Is Young
doesn't matter how long we stay
Since The Night Is Young
gonna dance the night away
Since The Night is Young
doesn't matter how long we stay
It's time to get things goin
the club is packed
and people started showin'
We're lookin' good
it's time to have some fun
because tonight has just begun
I know that right now the music is sweet
Got my crew in the car movin' back and forth to the beat
Since The Night is Young
gonna dance the night away
Since The Night Is Young
doesn't matter how long we stay
Since The Night Is Young
gonna dance the night away
Since The Night is Young
doesn't matter how long we stay
Look at them stare
as we look in the room
we're gonna walk onto the dancefloor real soon
I'm feeling good
I'm ready to show the only way I like to move
I know that right now the music is sweet
Got my crew in the car movin' back and forth to the beat
Since The Night is Young
gonna dance the night away
Since The Night Is Young
doesn't matter how long we stay
Since The Night Is Young
gonna dance the night away
Since The Night is Young
doesn't matter how long we stay
know that right now the music is sweet
Got my crew in the car movin' back and forth to the beat
Since The Night is Young
gonna dance the night away
Since The Night Is Young
doesn't matter how long we stay
Since The Night Is Young
gonna dance the night away
Since The Night is Young
doesn't matter how long we stay
