Walked in the diner, jukebox wailin' low
Cigarette smoke hangin', a greaser puttin' on a show
Sippin' on a milkshake, thought nothin' much was new
Then outta the corner, my heart just about flew
There she was, a vision in red
Dress fit like a dream, hair done up instead
Ruby red lips and a smile so sweet
Man, that lady in red can't be beat!
She sashayed to the counter, twirled a crimson skirt
Guys all stopped starin', their jaws hittin' the dirt
Ordered a cherry Coke, eyes sparklin' like chrome
Never seen nothin' hotter, never felt so at home
There she was, a vision in red
Dress fit like a dream, hair done up instead
Ruby red lips and a smile so sweet
Man, that lady in red can't be beat!
Got up the courage, walked on over slow
Hopin' she wouldn't say "no" to a rockin' romeo
Offered her a dance, a nervous kinda grin
She said, "Sure, honey," and took my hand with a pin
There we were, spinnin' in red
Dress twirling a whirlwind, lost in what she said
Ruby red lips, a laugh like a beat
Man, that lady in red can't be beat!
The night flew by, didn't wanna say goodbye
But as the clock struck twelve, a tear welled in her eye
She said, "See you tomorrow, same time, same place"
The lady in red put a smile on my face!
