Hooters ..........
She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night
She was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight
I could feel her coming from a mile away
There was no use talking, there was nothing to say
When the band began to play and play

And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced and danced danced

I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall
She could dance all night and shake the paint off the walls
But when I saw her smile across a crowded room
Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon
As the band began to play out of tune

And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced and danced danced

The endless beat, she's walkin' my way
Hear the music fade when she says
Are we getting too close, do we care to get closer
The room is spinning as she whispers my name
And we danced...

3. You know what's funny about that song is as sinple as the lyrics
are, they are actually have an "experience" behind them. It makes the song better.

6. The Hooters. Hence the title. A Philly band, maybe the last
Philly band to have a national hit.

(PS: The "hooter" after which the band is named is a musical instrument; I don't know the real name for it, but it's kind of a miniature organ keyboard that you blow into...if you listen closely you can hear it in that song and a few of their others.)
