lyrics

DANCING WITH JOEY RAMONE

He walked into the party looking just like he had in the past
He came up to me and he didn’t even have to ask
I tried to say something he said “Girl shut your mouth,
They’re playing Papa Was A Rolling Stone”
Last night I was dancing with Joey Ramone

He was cool in his leather jacket and his little dark shades
He started dancing around, I tried to copy every move he made
When I reached for his hand he kind of brushed me off
Then they played Hanging On The Telephone
Last night when I was dancing with Joey Ramone

They played The Worst That Could Happen by the Brooklyn Bridge
He Hit Me And It Felt Like A Kiss
Glad All Over, Needles and Pins
Be My Baby again and again
Gloria by the Shadows of Knight
He’s So Fine and I Feel Alright
Charlie Brown, Can’t Sit Down
We were dancing around and around

Well I closed my eyes for a minute and then he was gone
The room looked different but the music kept playing on and on and on and on
When I woke up today I had a song in my head
I wanna wanna wanna go home
They played it last night when I was dancing with Joey Ramone
Last night I was dancing with Joey Ramone
Last night I was dancing with Joey Ramone
