The Boy from Oz movie - Continental American lyrics

rate me

Song by Pamela Jordan<br /><br>

Once there was a time<br>

When this town was so high<br>

We could never come down<br>

When rules did not apply<br>

We would drink fountains dry<br>

In a club filled with sound<br>

And bands would play to please me<br>

You found a partner easy<br>

The name game was the only game in town<br>

<br>

Nights would end at 6 A.M.<br>

Sleep all day<br>

And then start dancing again<br>

The first to see the end<br>

We did the Continental American<br>

<br>

All our clothes from France<br>

Soul Train taught us to dance<br>

We had smoke in our eyes<br>

Friends were lost and found<br>

We were Paradise bound<br>

Some got lost, nobody cried<br>

Others took their places<br>

Always strange new faces<br>

Always one more chance to go around<br>

<br>

Nights would end at 6 A.M.<br>

Sleep all day<br>

And then start dancing again<br>

The first to see the end<br>

We did the Continental American<br>

<br>

Now we're staying in<br>

Let the new dance begin<br>

But those kids look(seem) so young<br>

All dressed up in our clothes<br>

But what none of them knows <br>

Is we really had fun!<br>

When bands would play to please us(me)<br>

You found a partner easy<br>

Scott and Zelda should have seen us then<br>

When nights would end at 6 A.M.<br>

Sleep all day<br>

And then start dancing again<br>

The first to see the end<br>

Manhattan pioneers<br>

<br>

We did the Continental American<br>
