Lyrics

Slip pin’ a way,

sit tin’ on a pil low,

wait in’ for night

to (Cm)fall.

A girl and a dream

gon na sit tin’ on a pil low,

this is the night to (G)go to the ce leb ri ty ball.

Sat in and lace,

is n’t it a pit y,

did n’t find time

to (Cm)call.

A Read y or not,

gon na make it to the cit y.

This is the night to (G)go to the ce leb ri ty ball.

(G)go to the ce leb ri ty ball.

Dress up to night;

why be lone ly?

(G)You’ll stay at home and you’ll be a lone, so why be lone ly?

Sit tin’ a lone,

sit tin’ on a pil low,

wait in’ to climb

the (Cm)walls.

May be to night,

de pend ing how your dream goes,

she’ll o pen her eyes when she (G)goes to the ce leb ri ty ball.

Dress up to night;

why be lone ly?

(G)You’ll stay at home and you’ll be a lone, so why be lone ly?

(G)Cel e brate, cel e brate, (F)dance to the mu sic!

(G)Cel e brate, cel e brate, (F)dance to the mu sic!

(G)Cel e brate, cel e brate, (F)dance to the mu sic!

(G)Cel e brate, cel e brate, (F)dance to the mu sic!
