I snuck out of the house that night
I knew that she were going
Now we are all down at the Bond Dance Hall not a care in this old world
Howling out into the night "At sundown," howling out "At sundown"
She'd given me reason to think the thoughts that young men do
Some promises you just can't keep and now she's lighting up the room
So I set out across the floor, I want more
Now we're really moving
I am really moving
We are really moving
April 13th, 1928
It fell upon a Friday it's always been such a very ominous date
Just off the court square
The best kids in this town are there
They heard the blast for miles around
Soon people started showing
We will always dance over this town
They'll just have no way of knowing
now we're really moving
I am really moving
It ain't life we're losing
I wish I could prove that
April 13, 1928
Never growing old at first thought doesn't sound like a terrible fate
Just off the court square
The best kids in this town are there
