The Ballroom of Romance lyrics

In the ballroom of romance, there's a rock band playing

People swaying to the beat

Swaying in the heat

In the corner over there by the door is a local Casanova

Yelling for another double scotch

"Hey, steady on the rocks!"

And when the girl walked in, a complete unknown

There was a mass confusion, this beauty was alone

And then the room began to shimmer

Every heart was beating fast

Every man who had to win her was moving fast

They said: "I'm ready

I'm ready for a romance

I'm ready for a romance

Is here at last!"

In the ballroom of romance, there's a young man waiting

Standing, looking over at the scene

It could be you or me

Every eye in the room was watching as she walked over to him

Whispered, "Do you wanna come with me?

I'm heading for the beach"

In her BMW 635

Going smooth at 90, feeling good to be alive

And then the moon began to shimmer

Hey, the sea was roaring in

Just one kiss and then his heart began to sing

He said: "I'm ready

I'm ready for a romance

I'm ready for a romance

Is here at last!"

Hey, the moon began to shimmer

And the sea was roaring in

And the last thing I remember was her kiss

I said: "I'm ready

I'm ready for a romance

I'm ready

I'm ready for a romance

I said I'm ready

I'm ready for a romance

I'm ready for a romance

Is here at last!"

In the ballroom of romance

In the ballroom of romance

In the ballroom of romance

In the ballroom of romance

"I'm ready!"

Life goes on

Same old song

Life goes on

And love grows strong ...
