E D
When I passed you in the doorway
C G B
You took me with a glance
E D
I should have took that last bus home
C G B
But I asked you for a dance
Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
My father he's going crazy
Say's I'm living in a trance
E D
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
C G B
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright, alright
E D
Dancing in the moonlight
C G B
On this long hot summer night
It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten
Now I won't get out until Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
But it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end

About this song: Dancing In The Moonlight
This uptempo, slightly jazzy number was clearly influenced by Van Morrison, of whom Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott was a big fan. One of Morrison's famous songs is "Moondance." The subtitle was added by the band's American record company, Mercury, to distinguish it from the King Harvest song with the same title released four years earlier.
