It was 1974
I scour the room now baby
A half a dozen women
And I know they are looking at me
As I take to the dance floor
I feel all the heads turn baby
Like I'm a dead ringer
For a singer in a rock'n'roll band
I brought all my moves with me
I'm working the room now baby
A bump and a wiggle and a shimmy
I'm a sight to see
As you take to the dance floor
You gave me that look now baby
Like I'm a dead ringer
For a singer in a rock'n'roll band
Cha cha cha
Sashay to the left and the back
Cha cha cha
Nothing felt more right
Movin' like Neil Diamond
On a Hot August Night
As I walk through the church door
I scour the room now baby
A half a dozen women
And I know they are cryin' for me
As we spin round the dance floor
I feel all the jaws drop baby
Cause I'm a dead ringer
For a singer in a rock'n'roll band
Cha cha cha
Sashay to the left and the back
Cha cha cha
Nothin' felt more right
Movin' like Neil Diamond
On a Hot August Night
I don't think I can take no more
You gave me that look now baby
The one a tormented man
Can only see
As I head for the front door
I catch my reflection baby
Now I'm a dead ringer
For a forty year old married man
Cha cha cha
Sashay to the left and the back
Cha cha cha
Nothing felt more right
Moving like Neil Diamond
On a Hot August Night
Now it's 1975
I'm back on the scene now baby
Just like the man I was
And always will be
As I head through the club door
Give the bouncer a nod now baby
Cause I'm still a dead ringer
For a singer in a rock'n'roll band
Cha cha cha
Sashay to the left and the back
Cha cha cha
Nothing felt more right
Movin' like Neil Diamond
On a Hot August Night
