I was at the dance till late that night
Everything was feeling alright
I was there with all of my friends
Suddenly right out of the blue
Well, this little boy said “I’ve heard about you.
They say you’re the best dancer in this school!”
He said, “Baby, do you want to dance?”
He said, “I’m gonna let you take this chance”
He said, “I better warn you in advance.
You could lose it.”
He said, “I don’t mean to put you down
But I got the quickest feet in town
And I’m gonna burn this dance hall down
I can prove it.”
I said, “Darling, don’t you worry about me
I got the steps down 1-2-3
You’ve never seen me move my feet
Well, I’ve made high school history.”
He laughed.
Now this is hard to believe
This little boy thinks he’s better than me
Well, out on the floor
And we’ll just see who can move it
High school history
(Girl, you better shake it or you’ll never make it)
High school history
(Dancing situation all across the nation)
High school history
High school history
That girl is going strong
You know we didn’t think she could last that long
Shaking and a-shouting and a-carrying on
She’s gone, gone, gone
High school history
(Girl, you better shake it or you’ll never make it)
High school history
(Dancing situation all across the nation)
High school history
High school history
Well, the gym was getting mighty hot
We both were giving everything we got
You know we danced till a quarter to three
The rest is high school history
He cried, “I’ve never seen a girl so fine
You got the boogie down and I resign
Now I’m only hoping that you’ll be mine.
I can’t lose you.”
