Dim, Dim The Lights (I Want Some Atmosphere)

(album: Rock Around The Clock - 1955)

What a crazy party the gangs all here too
The beat is really jumping like a kangaroo
I'm pouring you a soda and potato chips
But now I want to get a taste of your sweet lips

So dim, dim the lights (Dim, dim the lights)
Dim, dim the lights (Dim, dim the lights)
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere

The furniture is bouncing round the room with glee
I'm rocking like a boat upon a stormy sea
But dig the crazy fracas running wild tonight
But still I haven't had a chance to hold you tight

So dim, dim the lights (Dim, dim the lights)
Dim, dim the lights (Dim, dim the lights)
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere

Looking at his earrings bouncing off the back
Look at Susie kissing and hugging Jack
Look at Nancy dancing in her stocking feet
We're all going crazy with the Mambo beat

But everybody's really having lots of fun
But honey as for me the night has just begun
'Cause now I'm gonna tell you things and hold you tight
But how can I do it with the room so bright

So dim, dim the lights (Dim, dim the lights)
Dim, dim the lights (Dim, dim the lights)
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere

But everybody's really having lots of fun
But honey as for me the night has just begun
'Cause now I'm gonna tell you things and hold you tight
But how can I do it with the room so bright

So dim, dim the lights (Dim, dim the lights)
Dim, dim the lights (Dim, dim the lights)
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere
