 Verse

 Chorus

 Vocal-Chorus

 Chorus (repeat till fade out)



My baby's always dancing
And wouldn't it be a bad thing
But I don't get no loving and that's no lie

We spent the night in Frisco
At every kind of disco
From that night I kissed our love goodbye

Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
 
That nasty boogie bugs me
But somehow it has drugged me
Spellbound rhythm gets me on my feet

I've changed my life completely
I've seen the lightning leave me
My baby just can't take her eyes off me

Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
 
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet

This magic music grooves me
That dirty rhythm moves me
The devil's gotten to me through this dance

I'm full of funky fever
And fire burns inside me
Boogie's got me in a super trance

Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie

Sunshine
Moonlight
Good times
Boogie

Don't you blame it
You just gotta
You just wanna
Yeah 
Oh, blame it on yourself
Ain't nobody's fault
But yours and that boogie
On all night long
Yours and that boogie
Ain't nobody's fault
But yours and that boogie
Dancing all night long
