Lyrics
Got my best shirt on for the Saturday dance Took the wrong bus, missed my chance Knocked on a door, it was the wrong address Granny in the doorway in her Sunday dress Oops, oops, what a night Nothing's going right Wrong door, wrong night, but we're laughing anyway Hey! Laughing anyway! Lost my hat and I lost my way Hey! Lost my way! Trumpets in the street and the moon's still bright Wrong door, wrong night, we'll be dancing tonight Wrong door, wrong night Hey! Wrong night! Rain on my shoes and a hole in my sock Wandered through the market at the stroke of the clock Chip shop man handed me a bag for free Said the best parties are the ones you didn't see Oops, oops, what a night Nothing's going right Wrong door, wrong night, but we're laughing anyway Hey! Laughing anyway! Lost my hat and I lost my way Hey! Lost my way! Trumpets in the street and the moon's still bright Wrong door, wrong night, we'll be dancing tonight Wrong door, wrong night Hey! Wrong night! Stomp your feet on the wet pavement Every misstep is an event Friends came running, horns came too Now the whole street's dancing with you Wrong door, wrong night, but we're laughing anyway Hey! Laughing anyway! Lost my hat and I lost my way Hey! Lost my way! Trumpets in the street and the moon's still bright Wrong door, wrong night, we'll be dancing tonight Wrong door, wrong night Hey! Wrong night! Wrong night, right night Hey! Dancing tonight!
