DANCE FIRST, KISS NEXT
(Rockabilly House Duet)
[Intro]
(Slap bass... hand claps... crowd noise...)
Both
Hey!
Hey!
Friday night's on fire!
Verse 1 (Male)
Neon glowing...
Whiskey flowing...
Band already bringing the heat.
Boots keep sliding...
Friends all smiling...
Then you walked in looking at me
Verse 2 (Female)
Cold beer...
Big laughs...
Everybody living out loud.
Then your eyes
Found mine...
Honey...
Everything else faded out.
Pre-Chorus
Male
Tell me...
Was it the music?
Female
Or maybe destiny...
Male
One little smile...
Female
One little look...
Both
Started something neither one of us could stop.
CHORUS
Both
Dance first...
Kiss next...
Why waste time wondering what's coming next?
Spin me around...
Pull me close...
We'll let the night decide the rest.
Dance first...
Kiss next...
Two hearts beating to the same backbeat.
If this is wrong...
Don't tell us yet...
Tonight was made for dancing...
And maybe one sweet kiss.
Drop
Hey!
Clap!
Clap!
Everybody now!
Verse 3
Male
Your laugh's got more rhythm
Than this old band.
Female
Your smile's got me forgetting
Every other man.
Male
One more song?
Female
One more dance?
Both
We're already way beyond chance.
Build
Raise your drinks!
Raise 'em high!
To Friday nights
That change your life!
One...
Two...
Three...
Go!
BIG CHORUS
Dance first...
Kiss next...
Every love story's gotta start somewhere.
Dance first...
Kiss next...
Right here...
Right now...
Right under these lights.
Whiskey's smooth...
Beer is cold...
The band's on fire...
The night's got soul.
You found me...
I found you...
That's all we really needed to do.
Dance Break
Whoa-oh!
Spin!
Spin!
Spin!
Whoa-oh!
Boots!
Boots!
Boots!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Bridge
(Everything drops except piano and hand claps.)
Male
Never believed...
In love at first sight...
Female
Neither did I...
Until tonight...
Male
One dance...
Female
One smile...
Both
One Friday changed our whole lives.
Music Stops
(Silence... crowd clapping.)
Male
"So..."
Female
"So..."
Male
"Wanna keep dancing?"
Female
"I thought you'd never ask."
(Beat slams back in.)
FINAL CHORUS
Dance first...
Kiss next...
That's how the best nights always end.
Dance first...
Kiss next...
Start as strangers...
Leave as friends...
Or maybe more...
Who's keeping score?
Tonight's too good
To close that door.
Dance first...
Laugh loud...
Love hard...
Sing proud...
Raise your glass...
Hold on tight...
Here's to falling...
In love...
On a Friday night.
Festival Outro
Both
Dance first!
Crowd:
KISS NEXT!
Dance first!
KISS NEXT!
Dance first!
KISS NEXT!
(Band hits a final rockabilly guitar lick as the crowd keeps chanting.)
