[Intro: Brian Connolly, Steve Priest, Andy Scott, Mick Tucker]

Are you ready, Steve? (Uh-huh)

Andy? (Yeah)

Mick? (Okay)

Alright, fellas, let's go!

[Verse 1: Brian Connolly, Steve Priest]

Oh, it's been getting so hard

Living with the things you do to me, ah-ha

My dreams are getting so strange

I'd like to tell you everything I see

Oh, I see a man at the back

As a matter of fact, his eyes are as red as a sun

And a girl in the corner, let no one ignore her

'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one


[Pre-Chorus: Brian Connolly]

Oh, yeah, it was like lightning

Everybody was frightening

And the music was soothing

And they all started grooving

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


[Chorus: All]

And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack"

And it turned into a ballroom blitz

And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya

It'll turn into a ballroom blitz"


[Post-Chorus: All]

Ballroom blitz

Ballroom blitz

Ballroom blitz

Ballroom blitz

[Verse 2: Brian Connolly, Steve Priest]

I'm reaching out for something

Touching nothing is all I ever do

Oh, I softly call you over

When you appear there's nothing left of you, ah-ha

Now the man in the back is ready to crack

As he raises his hands to the sky

And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner

She could kill you with a wink of her eye


[Pre-Chorus: Brian Connolly]

Oh, yeah, it was electric

So frantically hectic

And the band started leaving

'Cause they all stopped breathing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


[Chorus: All]

And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack"

And it turned into a ballroom blitz

And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya

It'll turn into a ballroom blitz"


[Post-Chorus: All]

Ballroom blitz


[Guitar Solo]


[Pre-Chorus: Brian Connolly]

Oh, yeah, it was like lightning

Everybody was frightening

And the music was soothing

And they all started grooving

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


[Chorus: All]

And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack"

And it turned into a ballroom blitz

And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya"

"It'll turn into a ballroom blitz"


[Post-Chorus: All]

Ballroom blitz

Ballroom blitz

Ballroom blitz

Ballroom blitz


[Outro: All]

It's, it's a ballroom blitz

It's, it's a ballroom blitz

It's, it's a ballroom blitz

Yeah, it's a ballroom blitz
