[Verse 1]
On Thursday night she looked a fright
Her pricky hair all curled, oh what a sight

[Chorus]
Dance, dance, little sister, dance

[Verse 2]
On Friday night, she all decked out
Her high heel shoes, her dress so tight

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
On Saturday night she bass-a-dee
She stepping high on Frederick's Street

[Chorus]
I said, "Dance, dance little sister, dance
Dance little sister, dance
Dance little sister, dance"
I said, "Dance, dance little sister, dance
Dance little sister, dance
Dance little sister, dance"

[Verse 4]
It make me hot, I wet with sweat
It burn like hell, I've four hours left

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Get next to me, drive me close
Don't mummy guy, I lose control

[Chorus]
I said, "Dance, dance little sister, dance
Dance little sister, dance
Dance little sister, dance"
I said, "Dance, dance little sister, dance
Dance little sister, dance
Dance little sister, dance"

[Verse 5]
Ah, jump out of Africa
With a step that looks so bold
Ah, when you're kick in' high
It make my blood run cold

[Chorus]
I said, Dance, dance little sister, dance
Dance little sisters, dance
Dance little sister, dance
I said, Dance, dance little sister, dance
Dance little sister, dance
Dance little sister, dance
I said, Dance, dance little sister, dance
Dance little sister, dance
Dance little sister, dance

[Verse 6]
On Saturday night we don't go home
We bacchanal, ain't no dawn

[Chorus]
Dance, little sister, dance
I said, Dance, dance little sister
Dance little sister
Dance little sister, dance
I said, Dance, dance little sister
Dance little sister
Dance little sister, dance

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
