Gamble everything on the feeling
You'll win every time
You'll find that Charanga leaves you
Reeling like a case of wine

We'll dance Charanga all daytime
And night time
We'll dance Charanga the rest of our lives

Ay Charanga dance the night away
Ay Charanga come on yeah

Throw your caution into the wind and let it fly
Come on let your worries all disappear
Take a chance and let the wheel spin
Let your bet ride
Don't you wish the night would
Go on for years?

Come dance the Charanga, yeah now
A little bit closer
Let's groove on this all-night party
As much as the law allows

Do something that'll make her
Feel real good
Say something that'll make her smile
Say something that'll make you understood
Do something with a little style

Girl you're such a sexy thing
Ooh you make my spirit sing
And your close proximity
Oh it has affected me
I can feel this rhythm swing
With no encouraging
And your sensuality
Mm, it overpowers me

After considering the name Big Brother, the band named themselves after the Power Station recording studio where the band did all of their recording. It was originally envisioned as a band with various singers, but after Palmer recorded “Communication”, it was decided to stick with him for all of the songs.
