Keep On Dancing


Encaustic Art by Lea Sheldan

Put on your best boots and join the happy dance! Swing your partner round and round to the sweet sounds of the old-timey lap-steel guitar in this toe-tapping, dip your gal love song. My dad, Dan Lybarger, plays those slidey sounds you hear and Mark Sheldan blows a rather fun harmonica to perk your ears up. Like a proper barn hoe-down, this song delivers with great harmony vocals and a steady bottom end that makes you want to 'Keep on Dancing'. It's one of my first attempts at computerized drumming.


These are some instruments that my dad has created. He built me a 'Pandandolin', a skateboard guitar, a strum stick as well as a beautiful traveling cello. He also put a banjo together for me and fixed and painted my acoustic/electric guitar. The list goes on and on, we're not sure what he'll build next.


I gotta say that I'm happy when I'm dancing with my baberoni. Mark doesn't care if it's in the living room, or the kitchen, on the beach or in a park, if there's music blasting or it's all in our heads. Dancing just feels good! We used to go out to the nightclubs all the time when we were young; unconcerned with hunting for parking, spending loads of money, bearing the loud music and all the rigmarole that goes along with it. Heck, nowadays, we turn any floor into a dancefloor! And even though we may not always agree, he's got two left feet and I tend to want to lead, we swing and dip and spin ourselves into a happy place in the end. Thanks for listening and like always folks, I urge you to Love, Laugh and Dance! ~*.*~ Lea Sheldan

Sing along with the words below:


Keep On Dancing

I’m happy when I’m dancing, gliding across the floor

There’s nothing better than getting together to boogie woogie all night long

The band is getting louder; they’re playing our favourite song

I’m happy when I’m dancing and I’m happy in your arms

It’s Friday night, we’re gonna get dressed up nice

Wear our fancy shoes; find a place where we can hear some blues

And when the lights go down and the champagne pops

My tapping toes don’t wanna stop

You grab my hand and we hit the floor

You know we’re gonna dance until our feet get sore


Spin, spin me around, dip, dip me down, twirl, twirl me round

Just keep on dancing, keep on dancing, keep on dancing


'Cause I’m happy when I’m dancing, gliding across the floor

There’s nothing better than getting together to boogie woogie all night long

The band is getting louder; they’re playing our favourite song

I’m happy when I’m dancing and I’m happy in your arms


It’s Saturday night, we’re going out to the city lights

Share a bottle of wine; find some music that suits us fine

And then we’ll do a waltz and we’ll do the jive

It doesn’t matter if we’re in or out of time

‘Cause I’ve got you and you’ve got me

We’ll be dancing till eternity


Spin, spin me around, dip, dip me down, twirl, twirl me round

Just keep on dancing, keep on dancing, keep on dancing, yeah


It’s Sunday night, we’re looking forward to a quiet time

Turn the music low, hold me close and we’ll dance real slow

We don’t need a crowd or a disco ball

Our kitchen is a dance floor, we got it all

‘Cause I love you and you love me

We’ll be dancing till eternity


Spin, spin me around, dip, dip me down, twirl, twirl me round

Just keep on dancing, keep on dancing, keep on dancing


'Cause I’m happy when I’m dancing, gliding across the floor

There’s nothing better than getting together to boogie woogie all night long

The band is getting louder; they’re playing our favourite song

I’m happy when I’m dancing and I’m happy in your arms


I’m happy when I’m dancing, Honey, let’s boogie woogie all night long
