[Chorus]

One hundred and twenty five

Beats to, beats to the minute

One hundred and twenty five

You get the notion with the motion

Then you're out on the floor

Fahrenheit, one hundred and two (Oh)

Centigrade, it's getting to you

Your heart is beating (Beating), eight to the bar

You can't control it so you hold it

Then you're out on the floor

On the floor

You feel it coming to ya

On the floor

You know it's getting through ya

On the floor

You can't control the feeling

Let it go


[Verse 1]

See the faces passing

Smile in time

(Try and smile in time)

You say, Hey! Can I take you home tonight?

(See the faces passing)

But she knows that you're throwin' a line

She's heard it before, she'll hear it again

(All in line)

It's the same pitch every time

(All in line)

Change your line of patter

Make her laugh, not at her

She says her friend wants to say hello

(Change your line of patter)

But you really don't wanna go

It's her you're throwing your glances to

(Make her laugh, not at her)

Her that you want to know

Don't let her stray

It's a Saturday night

The boys are after trouble

You're in for a fight

Ooh


[Chorus]

One hundred and twenty five

Beats to, beats to the minute

One hundred and twenty five

You get the notion with the motion

Then you're out on the floor

Fahrenheit, one hundred and two (Oh)

Centigrade, it's getting to you

Your heart is beating (Beating), eight to the bar

You can't control it so you hold it

Then you're out on the floor

On the floor

You feel it coming to ya

On the floor

You know it's getting through ya

On the floor

You can't control the feeling

Let it go


[Bridge]

Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R.)

Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R. E.)

Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R. E. G.)

Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R. E. G. G.)

Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R. E. G. G. A.)

Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R. E. G. G. A. E.)

Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R. E. G. G. A. E.)

Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R. E. G. G. A. E.)


[Verse 2]

See the faces passing

Smile in time

(Try and smile in time)

She says if you're lookin' to take me home

(See the faces passing)

I'd better not be in late

But the look on her face, the smile in her eyes say

(All in line, all in line)

Baby I'm gonna wait

See the faces swimming

Hear the music dimming

I'm all danced out, I'm all done in

(See the faces swimming)

And I'm starting to talk out of tune

We can go on a ride, we can jump in a boat

(Hear the music dimming)

We can dance by the light of the moon

One hundred and twenty five, ooh

Beats to, beats to the minute

Ooh
