The Ballroom of Romance
In the Ballroom of Romance, there's a rock band playing,
People swaying to the beat, swaying in the heat,
In the corner over there by the door is a local casanova,
Yelling for another scotch, "hey, steady on the rocks!"
And when the girl walked in, a complete unknown,
There was mass confusion, this beauty was alone,
And then the room began to shimmer,
Every heart was beating fast,
Every man who had to win her,
Was moving fast, they said,
I'm ready, I'm ready for romance,
I'm ready for romance is here at last;
In the Ballroom of Romance, there's a young man waiting,
Standing looking over at the scene, it could be you or me,
Every eye in the room was watching as she walked over to him,
Whispered "do you want to come with me, I'm heading for the beach."
In her BMW 635, going smooth at 90, feeling good to be alive,
And then the moon began to shimmer,
Hey the sea was roaring in,
Just one kiss and then his heart
Began to sing, he said
I'm ready, I'm ready for romance,
I'm ready for romance is here at last;
Hey the moon began to shimmer,
And the sea was roaring in,
The last thing I remember
Was her kiss, I said
I'm ready, I'm ready for romance,
I'm ready, I'm ready for romance,
I said I'm ready, I'm ready for romance,
I'm ready for romance is here at last!
In the Ballroom of Romance
In the Ballroom of Romance
In the Ballroom of Romance
In the Ballroom of Romance
I'm ready!
Life goes on, same old song
Life goes on, and love grows strong...
O Salão do Romance
No Salão do Romance, tem uma banda de rock tocando,
A galera balança no ritmo, balança no calor,
No canto ali perto da porta tá um casanova local,
Gritando por mais um scotch, "ei, com gelo, por favor!"
E quando a garota entrou, uma completa desconhecida,
Rolou uma confusão, essa beleza tava sozinha,
E então a sala começou a brilhar,
Todo coração batendo acelerado,
Todo homem que queria conquistá-la,
Tava se movendo rápido, disseram,
Tô pronto, tô pronto pro romance,
Tô pronto, o romance finalmente chegou;
No Salão do Romance, tem um jovem esperando,
De pé, olhando a cena, poderia ser você ou eu,
Todo olhar na sala acompanhava enquanto ela se aproximava dele,
Sussurrou "você quer vir comigo? Tô indo pra praia."
No seu BMW 635, deslizando a 90, se sentindo bem vivo,
E então a lua começou a brilhar,
Ei, o mar rugia,
Só um beijo e então o coração dele
Começou a cantar, ele disse,
Tô pronto, tô pronto pro romance,
Tô pronto, o romance finalmente chegou;
Ei, a lua começou a brilhar,
E o mar rugia,
A última coisa que lembro
Foi do beijo dela, eu disse,
Tô pronto, tô pronto pro romance,
Tô pronto, tô pronto pro romance,
Eu disse tô pronto, tô pronto pro romance,
Tô pronto, o romance finalmente chegou!
No Salão do Romance
No Salão do Romance
No Salão do Romance
No Salão do Romance
Tô pronto!
A vida continua, a mesma velha canção
A vida continua, e o amor só cresce...
