Might As Well Dance by Patty Larkin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh yeah
Well cat got your tongue and the rent is running late
A bad love affair has made a mess of things
Wolf's at the door and there's nothing on your plate
You're standing there naked and the telephone rings

[Chorus]
Ah, well the boogie man'll get ya
Mmm, when you're lying in your bed
Pull the pillow off your head
You might as well dance
You might as well dance
Ooh yeah, might as well dance

[Verse 2]
Well hey diddle, diddle, now the cat and the fiddle
A real estate man is checking out the moon
Dog gone the dish, well you found nothing in it
Opened up your mouth and never found a silver spoon
[Chorus]
Ah, well the boogie man'll get ya
Mmm, when you're lying in your bed
Pull the pillow off your head
You might as well dance
Uh huh, might as well dance
Ooh yeah, might as well dance

[Verse 3]
Shark's in the water and the fool's on the hill
Long Dong Silver got his pieces of eight
Mothers tell your daughters whatever you will
Hope is in the kitchen and she's waiting at the gate

[Chorus]
Ah, and the boogie man'll get ya
Mmm, when you're lying in your bed
Pull the pillow off your head
You might as well–

[Verse 4]
Ooh yeah
Well you can't get to sleep and you can't stay awake
You're living your life like you're doing time
Hey, happy birthday, have another piece of cake
Have another cup of tea or a bottle of wine
[Chorus]
Ah, 'cause the boogie man'll get ya
Mmm, when you're lying in your bed
Pull the pillow off your head
You might as well dance
Uh huh, might as well dance
Ooh yeah, might as well dance
Ah, might as well dance
Ooh yeah, might as well
