Mr. B's Ballroom Lyrics

three cheers!
they're yellin' again
three cheers!
they'll be at it to the end

so drink some big beers and go crazy tonight
they're all dressed up and they'll be gettin' it tonight
big swingers in double knits tonight
big babies gonna get in a fight
actin' crazy bustin' up the chairs
doubled over gettin' sick on the stairs
they know the limits 'cause they cross them every night
the dull sensations as it turns real hot
why, the guys in the back with their heads on the floor
surrounded by their buddies they're all hollerin' for more
whoa whoa whoa
it's mr. b's ballroom

party time turn the music up loud
party time lose your head in the crowd
yellin' laughin' tryin' hard to act smart
put 'em under pressure and you watch them fall apart
freeze! come on out of there
freeze! you ain't goin' nowhere
freeze! put your hands on your head
freeze!
it's mr. b's ballroom

whoa whoa whoa
it's mr. b's ballroom
(repeat)

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.

Teens at a club getting drunk -- getting into fights, breaking stuff, throwing up because they're drunk as lords (where DID that expression come from anyway, for crying in Manhattan?) and they all think they're so cool when they're just making a-holes of themselves, and they finally get their sorry butts arrested

Immature people trying to experience partying at a club. But they drink too much and act the fool.
