[Verse 1]
I like to take a dancing class each year
It helps myself to keep in touch with me
And the girls I meet are different
Than the ones I meet at work
And there's always at least
One sensitive guy
[Chorus]
Da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Oh not quite
[Verse 2]
There is a girl I like to pair up with
She comes from Germany
She's beautiful
And I like the way she dresses
And I like the way she moves
We never speak
We only acquiesce
[Chorus]
Da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Oh not quite
[Verse 3]
There is a mirror in the locker room (Berlin, Berlin)
And sometimes after class we stay and dance (Berlin, Berlin)
And she always shows me new steps
And I try to follow her
Follow her?
Berlin is far away
[Bridge]
I must stay
I must stay in shape
I must try
I must try new steps
Must perfect
Must perfect each move
That's harder?
I will try that then (I)
But sometimes
Sometimes I have fears (I)
A strange and
A strange and dark force (I)
Is trying
Trying to pry me (Try)
Pry me from
Pry me from myself (I)
This is why
This is why I move (I)
This is why
This is why I dance (Try)
Must protect
Must perfect each step (I)
I must try
I must dance faster...
[Interlude]
Keep in touch, keep in touch, keep it touch
That's what they're always saying
Keep in touch
The years, the years, the years, the years, the years
Twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three
Twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven
Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty
Stop me and ask crossing the border
There's no border here
I have a map and it's a map of the world
And there's no border here
There's no border here
There is no border here
Just years, just the years
[Verse 4]
This is the last dancing class I'll have
The announcement came tonight after the class
She said you're two hundred years old now
There's no one left to hold you
This is the last dancing class you'll have, girls
[Chorus]
Da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
