[Verse 1]
Well I might have been on Bourbon, could have been Élysées
Passing by this place that didn't look really clean
Admission was a dollar, barker said to me
I told him that I wondered why that it wasn't free

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, he just took my hand
He said to peep through the curtain at the women and you'll understand

[Chorus]
He said, "Now, they don't want to fuss or fight
Yeah, we try to love 'em all and just want to dance tonight"

[Verse 2]
Yeah, well I gave the man the money, shuffled through the door
Walk it off, I want to spend a little more
Honkin' with the honkeys, happy with the hill
Huggin' anybody that would give 'em a pill

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, what a place to be
Some of 'em dancing on the table top right up in front of me

[Chorus]
They say "Now we don't want to fuss or fight
But we try to love 'em all, just want to dance tonight
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
And now my family's doing business, really had a beat
Rockin' with the rhythm from their head to their feet
Now I might have spent the weekend just a-diggin' on that show
But I ran out of money and they said I had to go

[Pre-Chorus]
Yes I stumbled through the door
Yeah, the man outside was a-saying what he said before

[Chorus]
He said, "Now, we don't want to fuss or fight
Yeah, we try to love 'em all and just want to dance
You know that they don't want to fuss or fight
We try to love 'em all and just want to dance
You know we try to love 'em all and just want to dance
Yeah, well we try to love 'em all and just want to dance tonight
