Well they danced to every tune the band could play
And just about midnight they decided to call it a day
But it was one thing that they left there on their minds, yeah yeah yeah
To get a little slice at any price yeah
They stole the shoes and rice
Surrender to the rhythm that is calling them home
He was dumb, he was dirty, but she was a princess
Custom made to fit right into his arms
She could thrill him, she could chill him, wooh down to the bone
But he was in his teens, he had to spill the beans
Still looking for ways and means
Surrender to the rhythm that is calling him home
Well who's to say if it's right or wrong
Not another singer in another song
I said we're doing alright
Yeah we're doing OK
We're doing OK
Well now guess what, guess what happened, guess what happened next
She said she had to go, said she was meeting up with one of her friends
But there was nothing more or less than another mess of the blues
But he had more to lose, started putting in clues
Oh yeah paying his dues
Surrender to the rhythm that is calling him home
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender yeah to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender to the rhythm
Surrender yeah to the rhythm
