Come out and dance with me darling
On that funky side of town
Come out and rock with me baby
Shake it up and dance it down
When you hear that good band play
It will make you want to fool around
You can't sit down

I've got some moves for you darling
That I learned from way back when
I've got a feeling for you baby
You'll believe in love again
When I knock on your door
You'll let me in - in love again

We go round and round
Don't know where we're bound
Long as there's a beat I'll hang around
For one more round

Now baby, don't read the papers
Cause they always make you sad
And honey, don't watch the T.V
Cause the news is always bad
Come and dance with me tonight
And you know your heart will be glad
So very glad

Baby, don't you know the reason
Grandma smiles at Grandpa so
Grandpa can still keep it moving
Like he did so long ago
Grandma says, "Hold me tight
And don't let go." - like years ago

We go round and round
Don't know where we're bound
Long as there's a beat I'll hang around
For one more round
Baby, this is true romance
Take it while you see a chance

If we got everyone dancing
Wouldn't be no time for war
If they got into the feeling
They'd find out what life is for
Every day you'd hear them say
This has got to be what life is for
And dance some more

Steven Lawrence Winwood is most famous for his solo work, including two number one hits Higher Love and Roll with It, and for being the member of two supergroups, Traffic and Blind Faith, along with helping found the Spencer Davis Group at fourteen years old.

Speaking of which, Mozart had nothing on Winwood as a keyboard

As a boy in middle school, little Stevie Winwood played the Hammond synth for Blues gods and Rock & Roll founders like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, when they toured in Britain. We’d list more, but it’s exhausting to link all of those names.
