âBaby, why don't we just turn that TV off?/ Three hundred fifteen channels of nothing but bad news on/ Well, it might be me but the way I see it/ The whole wide world has gone crazy/ So baby, why don't we just dance?/ Just a little bitty living room, ain't gonna look like much/ But when the lights go down and we move the couch/ It's gonna be more than enough/ For my two left feet snd our two hearts beatinâ/ Nobody's gonna see us go crazy/ So baby, why don't we just dance?/ Down the hall, maybe straight up the stairs?/ Bouncing off the wall, floating on air/ Baby, why don't we just dance?â
