Monday mornin' - it's time to get up 
Dm                          Bb                  
 Two cups of coffee and she runs for the bus

Nobody notices and nobody cares

She admits it ain't no kinda life

There ain't no place she'd rather be

When she's danc-in' 
         Dm                         Bb  
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies 
 

 
     F 
When Friday evenin' finally rolls around

She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown

Goes to a place they call "The Ball And Chain"

Well its a bitch tryin' to make ends meet

But that's the way the story goes

There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free

When she's danc-in'

The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see

His eyes are on her as the evenin's endin' 
Bb 
But she ain't goin' for no mystery 
        Gm 
Because nobody rides for free 


                            C    Bb    F 
She's only happy when she's danc-in' 
Dm                            Bb   
There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free

When she's danc-in'

The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see
