I'm gonna tell to you a story about a man I know
A stranger from another town
They say he is a traveller with a blackened soul
They say he's gonna bring me down
I met him in the shadows of a smoky bar
His face was hidden out of sight
He pulled me close and whispered in a silky voice
He said "you're dancing with the devil tonight"

There was something 'bout the way he took my shaking hand
And pulled me out across the floor
There was fire in his laughter and a gleam in his eye
Desire hit like never before
He moved just like a serpent, softly smooth and quick
My body shivered with delight
He asked me what a girl like me was doing here
I said "I'm dancing with the devil tonight"

Swing for me
Swing for me
Swing for me
Swing for me
Swing for me baby; give it all that you've got
The rhythm's cool and the bass is hot
Swing for me baby 'til the break of day
When demons hide away
Hit me with a shot of sin
On the rocks with a little gin
Temptation cannot be denied
So open up the gates and step inside

So gentlemen and ladies let me tell you my tale
I'd fallen for the shadow man
He took me on journey that would make you frail
He took me to a darker land
There was enticement in his eyes
And a danger in the air
One look and he would give you a fright
He had me in a spin and fear was creeping in
I'm dancing with the devil tonight

Indulgence took me over like a sickness deep within
My tired body craved for more (more)
I knew I had to leave him but my feet pulled me back
When I tried to walk on out that door
He laughed aloud and shouted "Don't you know who I am?
There's no use putting up a fight
You shouldn't sell your soul to the gambling man
You're dancing with the devil tonight"

Swing for me
Swing for me
Swing for me
Swing for me
Swing for me baby; give it all that you've got
The rhythm's cool and the bass is hot
Swing for me baby 'til the break of day
When demons hide away
Hit me with a shot of sin
On the rocks with a little gin
Temptation cannot be denied
So open up the gates and step inside

(Da da da ba da dee)
Swing with me
Da da da ba da dee, Da da da ba da dee, Da da da ba da dee
Swing with me (Da da da ba da dee)
And the devil will set you free (Da da da ba da dee)
Swing with me (hit me with a shot of sin)
Da da da ba da dee, Da da da ba da dee (on the rocks with a little gin)
Temptation cannot be denied
So open up the gates and step inside

Swing with me
Swing with me
And the devil will set you free
Swing with me
Swing with me
Open up the gates and step inside
