F            
Monday mornin' - it's time to get up 
Dm                          Bb                  
 Two cups of coffee and she runs for the bus 
F 
 Looks in the window and fixes her hair 
Dm                   
Nobody notices and nobody cares 
Bb  
She admits it ain't no kinda life 
        Gm  
Workin' 9 to 5 you know... 
  
 
                            C    Bb   F 
She's only happy when she's danc-in' 
Dm                        Bb   
There ain't no place she'd rather be 
           C    Bb    F  
When she's danc-in' 
         Dm                         Bb  
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies 
 
 
 
     F 
When Friday evenin' finally rolls around 
Dm                       Bb 
She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown 
F 
Goes to a place they call "The Ball And Chain" 
Dm                                   
Nothin' matters until Monday so she goes insane 
Bb  
Well its a bitch tryin' to make ends meet 
    Gm      
But that's the way the story goes 
  
 
                            C    Bb    F 
She's only happy when she's danc-in' 
Dm                            Bb   
There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free 
           C    Bb    F  
When she's danc-in' 
    Dm                         Bb 
The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see 
  
 
 
Solo:
 
Dm      Bb 
Dm      Bb 
  
Bridge: 
C                              F 
She ain't got much but she got independence 
C                       F 
Ya - she's doin' alright 
C                          F  
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 
           C    Bb    F  
When she's danc-in' 
    Dm                         Bb 
The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see
