lyrics

LA TI DA
by WD Picou

I slipped into a discotheque
The room was full, the air was thick
The place was filled with dancing fools
Mask and costume were the rule

CHORUS:
Singers singing
La la la ti da
Dancers dancing
La la la ti da
The singers say
The song don't mean a thing

I went into an uptown bar
Where no one cares just who you are
All it takes is one good look
To classify you in their book

CHORUS

I went to a country club
Where there they dance the elbow rub
They add a twist to shimmy-shake
And talk about the great escape

CHORUS:
Music playing
La la la ti da
Dancers swaying
La la la ti da
The singers say
The song don't mean a thing
