This song written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. The origin of the song’s meaning is a bit unknown. One source says that it’s a recollection of a band mate’s dream. Another says that it is telling of a particular rowdy performance in the band’s career.
[Intro]
Are you ready, Steve?
"Uh-huh"
Andy?
"Yeah"
Mick?
"Okay"
Alright, fellas, let's go!
[Verse 1]
Oh, it's been getting so hard
Living with the things you do to me, ah-ha
My dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
[Refrain]
Oh, I see a man at the back
As a matter of fact, his eyes are as red as a sun
And a girl in the corner, let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, it was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya"
"It'll turn into a ballroom blitz"
[Post-Chorus]
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
[Verse 2]
I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing is all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you, ah-ha
[Refrain]
Now the man in the back is ready to crack
As he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, it was electric
So frantically hectic
And the band started leaving
'Cause they all stopped breathing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya"
"It'll turn into a ballroom blitz"
[Post-Chorus]
Ballroom blitz
(Ballroom blitz)
[Bridge]
Oh, yeah, it was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya"
"It'll turn into a ballroom blitz"
[Post-Chorus]
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
[Outro]
Ooh, it's, it's a ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
Yeah, it's a ballroom blitz
