The world's goin' crazy out there
People fightin', flames ignitin'
World's goin' crazy out there these days
But here is where we turn up the music
Let the big band play as we're dancin'
Dancin' the world away

The world's goin' crazy all right
Big commotion, 'cross the ocean
World's goin' crazy out all right, tonight
But here we got our friends and our family
Here is where we stay, keep on dancin'
Dancin' the world away!

'Cause who knows, who knows
Just what the future brings
Who knows, who knows
Just what may be in store
But the trumpet blows
And the choir sings
And we hit the floor
For more, more, more, more, more!

World's goin' crazy, world's goin' crazy,
World's goin' crazy tonight,
World's goin' crazy tonight,

The world's goin' crazy tonight
Bombs are flyin', people dyin'
World's goin' crazy tonight, all right
We can't keep dancin' the world away
Can't put this out of sight
We must fight!
