Story Behind The Song
Idealistic view of making an instant connection with someone when all the planets line up. Reminds me of a bar in Chicago that I used to go to and sing and dance to the juke box. I always thought it would be great to meet a really attractive woman there., make that connection then live happily ever after.

Lyrics
Well I saw her sittin back in the corner by the record machine
With her jeans painted on to legs that were long and lean
It took me two or three minutes to think of what to say to her
But before I could move she came over and said these words
CHORUS
She said do you like rock roll music
And can you learn how to dance
I said I've never really tried but I'm willing to try
Take a chance chance chance
She said it's 1,2,3 shake rattle and roll
And then you move real slow
I said I think I'll get the hang of this dancin
stuff don't you know
Well we danced all night to the music on the record machine
And we talked about life and love and romance in between
Till the hour grew late and I drew her body next to mine
I said before we go I gotta dance just one more time
Repeat CHORUS
I't been 20 years now since we danced by that record machine
And that pretty little girl still looks good in her tight blue jeans
We've got three little kids of our own we're happy as can be
But I still remember those first words my baby said to me
Repeat CHORUS
