Well they danced to every tune the band could play And just about midnight they decided to call it a day Now there's one thing that's left on their minds, yeah yeah yeah They've got a little slice, at any price yeah They stole the shoes and rice And surrendered to the rhythm that is calling them home Oh she was dumb she was dirty yeah, but she was a princess Custom made and could fit right into his arms She could thrill him she could chill him, woh down to the bone But he was in his teens yeah, he had to spill the beans Still looking for ways and means Surrendered to the rhythm calling him home Well who's to say if it's right or wrong Not another singer in another song I say we're doing alright Yeah we're doing ok Ooh now guess what, guess what happened, guess what happened then She had to go said she was meeting up with one of her friends So it 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 Surrendered 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
