Translation of “Todos Quieren Bailar Conmigo”

You’re so classy; I’m so valley girl
How can love choose so poorly
You’re crazy about golf; I’m a squash fan
Not even glue can make us stick together in everything

Everyone wants to dance with me tonight

Three days have gone by when I finally arrive back home happy
You’re still on the same sofa I left you at while you were reading a book

You look like a scowling child when you see me come in
I’m sorry, honey, but I don’t want to tell you what I did away from you!
