I met you on those summer nights
There, beneath the disco lights
We talked about our human rights
We were dancing, dancing to survive
Dance to stay alive
Dance to stay alive
Still you wear the battle scar
They tried to change the way you are
But you fought long and travelled far
You were dancing to survive
Dance to stay alive
Dance to stay alive
Here's to disco
I raise a glass
You made us fabulous
You made us dance
With you we stayed all night
We took a trip
With you we learned that we should
Never button up our lip...
We're survivors
We get by
Even when they burned our records
We didn't die
Most of us survived the icebergs
We are strong
Here's to disco
And the beat goes on...
When the summer's over
And everyone goes home
The nightclubs will be empty
And I will dance alone
Dance to say goodbye
Dance to say goodbye
'Cos I met you on those summer nights
And there, beneath the disco lights
We talked about our human rights
We were dancing to survive
Dance to stay alive
Dance to stay alive
Here's to disco
I raise a glass
You made us fabulous
You made us dance
With you we stayed all night
We took a trip
With you we learned that we should
Never button up our lip...
We're survivors
We get by
Even when they burned our records
We didn't die
Most of us survived the icebergs
We are strong
Here's to disco
And the beat goes on...
Here's to disco
I raise a glass
You made us fabulous
You made us dance
With you we stayed all night
We took a trip
With you we learned that we should
Never button up our lip...
We're survivors
We get by
Even when they burned our records
We didn't die
Most of us survived the icebergs
We are strong
Here's to disco
And the beat goes on...
And the beat goes on...
