Remember back in high school
When you couldn't wait
For the very first dance
You lay your homework was the rule

And just thinkin' 'bout the music
Puts you in a trance

You never have to worry
If you save your lunch money

So you'll have the chance
To get your ticket in a hurry
For the high school dance

Dance to the beat of the band
We're gonna dance at the high school dance
Boogie to the beat of the band, ooh
Boogie to the high school dance

Dance to the beat of the band
We're gonna dance at the high school dance
Boogie to the beat of the band, ooh
Boogie to the high school dance

It only costs a dollar
To dance to the music
With the one you love best, uh, huh
It makes you wanna holler, ooh

The music sounds good
You just don't want to rest
And then they turn the lights down
So you can slow dance

Or sneak a little romance
All the baddest sit around
Talkin' 'bout the high school dance

Dance to the beat of the band
We're gonna dance at the high school dance
Boogie to the beat of the band, ooh
Boogie to the high school dance

Dance to the beat of the band
We're gonna dance at the high school dance
Boogie to the beat of the band, ooh
Boogie to the high school dance

Dance at the high school dance

It only costs a dollar
To dance to the music
With the one you love best, yeah
It makes you wanna holler, ooh

The music sounds good
You just don't want to rest, yeah
And then they turn the lights down
So you can slow dance

Or sneak a little romance, yeah yeah
All the baddest sit around
Talkin' 'bout the high school dance

Dance to the beat of the band
We're gonna dance at the high school dance
Boogie to the beat of the band, ooh
Boogie to the high school dance

Dance to the beat of the band
We're gonna dance at the high school dance
Boogie to the beat of the band, ooh
Boogie to the high school dance

Dance at the high school dance
Ooh, dance at the high school dance
