Well I’d been kicking it around on my own

On my own too long

In 1942 at the Old Blue Moon

They always played my favorite song

I saw him in the mirror and he looked so fine

So handsome cool and clean

With a confident hand across my table

The band broke into Josephine

Take me down

Take me down down down

To the town

To the town town town

Where everybody’s gonna be dancing

Up on a Friday night

It might have been my makeup

It could have been my hair

Or pure and simple destiny

That a country boy and a city girl

Yes I would love to dance

So let your love light shine on me

Take me down

Take me down down down

To the town

To the town town town

Where everybody’s gonna be dancing

Up on a Friday night

I worked the candy counter at the five and dime

We sold most anything

And at a quarter past the hour he layed one on me

And now my finger’s got this fancy ring

Take me down

Take me down down down

To the town

To the town town town

Where everybody’s gonna be dancing

Up on a Friday night
