Give me the Night  (KDM 186)  Chris Froggatt  (George Benson) 1980

OPENER

Circle to the Left

Whenever dark has fallen…

You know the spirit of the party starts to come alive

4 Men Star Right now… hey, look to the corner

Allemande Left your corner, then you Weave that Ring

'Cause there's music in the air, and lots of lovin' everywhere

Swing that girl, Promenade tonight

'Cause there's music in the air, and lots of lovin' everywhere

So gimme the night (a-hah, a-hah!)

FIGURE

Heads you’ll Pass the Ocean, Extend

Swing Thru, go two by two, Boys Run Right and then

Bend the Line, a Right & Left Thru, turn them all around now

Hey Pass Thru, with a Wheel & Deal, when you do

Zoom, new centres Square Thru, and count to 3

Corner Swing, Promenade her tonight

'Cause there's music in the air, and lots of lovin' everywhere

So gimme the night (a-hah, a-hah!)

MIDDLE BREAK

4 Ladies Promenade and go one time around

Get back home and Swing your man

Join hands, Circle to the Left, go moving around

Allemande Left, and Weave round that Ring

'Cause there's music in the air, and lots of lovin' everywhere

So gimme the night

Swing that girl… Promenade

Yes, there's music in the air, lots of lovin' everywhere

So gimme the night (a-hah, a-hah!)

CLOSER & TAG

4 Men you Promenade one time around

Get back home and Swing your girl

Join hands, Circle Left, well, go moving around

Allemande Left, and Weave round that Ring

'Cause there's music in the air, and lots of lovin' everywhere

So gimme the night (a-hah, a-hah!)

Yes, there's music in the air, lots of lovin' everywhere

So gimme the night (a-hah, a-hah!)

Gimme the night (a-hah, a-hah!)

ORIGINAL LYRICS

Whenever dark has fallen, you know the spirit of the party
Starts to come alive, until the day is dawning
You can throw out all your blues, and hit the city lights

 

'Cause there's music in the air, and lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night, gimme the night

 

You need the evening action, a place to dine, a glass of wine
A little late romance, it's a chain reaction
You'll see the people of the world, coming out to dance

 

'Cause there's music in the air, and lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night, gimme the night

 

So come on out tonight, and we'll lead the others
On a ride through paradise, and if you feel all right
Then we can be lovers,

 

'Cause I see that starlight
Look in your eyes, don't you know we can fly
Just gimme the night, gimme the night

 

'Cause there's music in the air, and lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night, Gimme the night

 

So come on out tonight, and we'll lead the others
On a ride through paradise, and if you feel all right

Then we can be lovers


'Cause I see that starlight, look in your eyes
Don't you know we can fly, and if we stay together
We'll feel the rhythm of the evening


Taking us up high, never mind the weather
We'll be dancing in the street, until the morning light

 

'Cause there's music in the air, and lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night

Gimme the night, gimme the night
Gimme the night, gimme the night
Gimme the night, gimme the night

So, gimme the night


'Cause there's music in the air, and lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night

Gimme the night, gimme the night
Gimme the night, gimme the night
Gimme the night, gimme the night

So, gimme the night


'Cause there's music in the air, and lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night

Gimme the night, gimme the night
Gimme the night, gimme the night
Gimme the night, gimme the night
So, gimme the night.
