Dancin' Shoes Lyrics

Alright
I've got my dance shoes on
and I'm feeling allright
gonna get 'em moveing
on the floor on the floor tonight
I've got my dance shoes on
and I feel allright
you got your black dress on
and you're looking allright
and you're looking allright
and you're my girl
gonna take you home
gonna take you home tonight
home tonight
because I've got a job to do
gotta get 'em moveing
on the floor tonight
on the floor tonight
I've got my dance-shoes on
and I feel allright
and I'm your man
and I feel allright
and you're my girl
I bet you feel
I bet you feel allright
I bet you feel allright
I've got my dancin' shoes on
gonna get 'em moveing
gonna get 'em moveing
on the floor on the floor
on the floor on the floor tonight
on the floor tonight
and I'm dressed up just right
got my hair combed down just right
on the floor tonight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is hands down my favorite Devils song. Not only does it oh so perfectly captures what it is to be in a Rock N Roll band (along with a number of their other songs too..), but there is also a love story implicit too, between the singer and his girl. He just wants to take her home, because she looks so good, but first hes got a job to do, he's gotta get 'em moving. Its beautiful... i can actually visualize the girl with her dress on, shakin' and movin'... wow. MCD has always been big on dancing and thrashing around and having a good time at a rock show. Like youre supposed to.
