It's Saturday night and it's a perfect night for dancing
I've had my makeup off and on all day
But it's got to be right for a night of sweet romancing
But I've combed my hair at least a thousand ways

Mirror, mirror, don't you tell a soul
Of how I smiled and talked all day to you
And how I practiced every step I know of
But tonight's the night and I'm a dancing fool

(It's a sure thing) when the sun goes down this evening
(It's a sure thing) to be out on the dancing floor
(It's a sure thing) I'll be the last one leaving
(It's a sure thing) gonna dance 'til I can't no more

I could have had a date, but I thought I'd take my chances
Gonna dance with a different guy to every song
Then I'm a gonna wait 'til the right one strikes my fancy
Then he's gonna be the one to dance me home

(It's a sure thing) when the sun goes down this evening
(It's a sure thing) to be out on the dancing floor
(It's a sure thing) I'll be the last one leaving
(It's a sure thing) gonna dance 'til I can't no more

(It's a sure thing) when the sun goes down this evening
(It's a sure thing) to be out on the dancing floor
(It's a sure thing) I'll be the last one leaving
(It's a sure thing) gonna dance 'til I can't no more

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
