Saturday night, you look so chic
Been waiting for this moment, been waiting all week
The pub is crowded, much too hot
The boys they're dancing, they just can't stop
The boys they're dancing, they just can't stop


Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance your dance, you dance your chance
You dance your dance, you dance your chance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance tonight and you dance it right
You dance tonight and you dance it right


Ice cold drinks, get sold tonight
 
 
Ice cold drinks, get stoned tonight
 
We're gonna get happy, the occasion is right
We're gonna get happy, the occasion is right
You start to move, you take the floor
You start to move, you take the floor
The music is better than ever before
The music is better than ever before


Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance your dance, you dance your chance
You dance your dance, you dance your chance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance tonight and you dance it right
You dance tonight and you dance it right


Three a.m., I just can't last
 
Three A.M., I just can't last
 
The music is loud, and much too fast
The music is loud, and much too fast
You cannot get out, you wanna stay
 
You gotta hang out another dancing day
You gotta get out, you wanna stay
 
You gotta hang out to another dancing day
 


Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance your dance, you dance your chance
You dance your dance, you dance your chance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance tonight and you dance it right
You dance tonight and you dance it right

Lyrics


Tomorrow's Dance

BONG magazine issue 24, page 16, showing Vince Clarke's handwritten lyrics for Tomorrow's Dance.

Saturday night, you look so chic

Been waiting for this moment, been waiting all week

The club is crowded, much too hot

The boys they're dancing, they just can't stop


Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance

You dance your dance, you dance your chance

Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance

You dance tonight and you dance it right


Ice cold drinks, get stoned tonight

We're gonna get happy, the occasion is right

You start to move, you take the floor

The music is better than ever before


Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance

You dance your dance, you dance your chance

Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance

You dance tonight and you dance it right


Three A.M., I just can't last

The music is loud, and much too fast

You gotta get out, you wanna stay

You gotta hang out to another dancing day


Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance

You dance your dance, you dance your chance

Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance

You dance tonight and you dance it right
