[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on
Loved dancing
All night long
The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on
Loved dancing
All night long
[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
So far away from home
So free and so alone
His head up in the clouds
His body in the crowds
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on
Loved dancing
All night long
The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on
Loved dancing
All night long
[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
To raise above the pain
To prove them all wrong again
To shake away at last
The secret in his past
He is exactly where he wants to be
In a world of his own
[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
His shirt falls to the floor
He's taking off some more
The crowd all love the show
Just how far will he go?
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on
Loved dancing
All night long
The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on
Loved dancing
All night long
The boy, the boy
[Spoken Interlude: Vanessa Ichak]
Yo Louis!
Oh no you don't!
You ain't dancin' for all these men
I thought you said you quit that
You told me you was goin' to your mother's
You get down from there, right now, all right?
Right now!
Where are your clothes at?
God it's hot in here!
Honey you can stay here, but don't bother home along tonight
Your clothes are going out the window
All your posse are gonna know tomorrow
I'll tell your mother
Oh no you don't, you ain't dancin' for all these men
It's over!
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on
Loved dancing
All night long
The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on
Loved dancing
All night long

From the liner notes of Bilingual: Further Listening:
Neil Tennant: [I]t’s a classic Pet Shop Boys' why-do-we-go-clubbing? song. And the explanation is ‘to raise above the pain / to prove them all wrong again / to shake away at last / the secret in his past.’ I’m saying his exhibitionism is caused...
