Lyrics Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler

Back on the Dance Floor

Hand me down my high roller Stetson

Hand me down my smokeless .41

We're gonna look so sharp when we walk in

They're gonna be jazzed we come

We're going for the major comeback

For the motherlode, the mighty score

We'll be the toast of every knocked out boogie shack

Now we're back on the dancefloor

Going all the way is the only way to go

The only game in town

Shake your moneymaker closer to the floor

Shake 'em on down, shake 'em on down

Hand me down my two-tone wingtips

Hand me down my skull head walking cane

You all gotta wear them shantung gambler suits

They're gonna be jazzed we came

We're going for the major comeback

For the motherlode, the mighty score

We'll be the toast of every knocked out boogie shack

Now we're back on the dancefloor

Going all the way is the only way to go

The only game in town

Shake your moneymaker closer to the floor

Shake 'em on down, shake 'em on down

We're going for the major comeback

For the motherlode, the mighty score

We'll be the toast of every knocked out boogie shack

Now we're back on the dancefloor
