  • Girls, don't forget your pearls
    And all of your horses
    As you make your way across the pond
    Girls, don't forget your curls
    And all of your corsets
    Memorize them in a little song

    Shake it up, throw your hands up and get loose
    Cut a rug, lean into the fucking youth
    Choreo, we just want the fucking truth
    (Told by the frightened)

    Is it the end of an era?
    Is it the end of America?
    Is it the end of an era?
    Is it the end of America?

    No, oh
    It's only the beginning
    If we hold on to hope
    We'll have a happy ending
    When the world was at war before
    We just kept dancing
    When the world was at war before
    We just kept dancing

    Boys, don't forget your toys
    And take all of your money
    If you find you're in a foreign land
    Boys, don't make too much noise
    And don't try to be funny
    Other people may not understand

    Shake it up, throw your hands up and get loose
    Cut a rug, lean into the fucking youth
    Choreo, we just want the fucking truth
    (Told by the frightened)

    Is it the end of an era?
    Is it the end of America?
    Is it the end of an era?
    Is it the end of America?

    No, oh
    It's only the beginning
    If we hold on to hope
    We'll have a happy ending
    When the world was at war before
    We just kept dancing
    When the world was at war before
    We just kept dancing

    And we'll do it again
    Oh my god, dizzy from loving you (we'll do it again)
    Oh my god, dizzy from loving you (we'll do it again)
    Dizzy from, dizzy from loving you, when the world was at war (we'll do it again)

    Is it the end of an era?
    Is it the end of America?
    Is it the end of an era?
    Is it the end of America?

    When the world was at war before
    We just kept dancing
    When the world was at war before
    We just kept dancing

    And we'll do it again
    And we'll do it again Writer/s: Dean Reid, Elizabeth Grant, Rick Nowels
