Verse 1
There’s a devil in the doorway, boots up on the bar
Laughin’ like he owns the night — but honey, here we are
You’re buyin’ me a whiskey? Better make it two
’Cause saints don’t dance like this — and neither should you
Tin whistle shrieks, fiddle cuts sharp
I tip my glass and break your heart
Pre-Chorus
Oh don’t look shocked, love — I warned you fair
There’s trouble braided in my hair
Chorus (BIG gang vocals)
HEY!
Saints don’t dance like this!
Clap your hands and steal a kiss!
Spin me once and take the risk —
We were born for nights like this!
HEY!
Raise it high and slam it down!
Let the fiddles shake the ground!
If we sin, we’ll sin renowned —
Sing it loud and sing it proud!
Verse 2
You said your mama warned you ‘bout the red-haired kind
But here you are again, love — losin’ your mind
Your halo slipped somewhere round half-past nine
Now you’re swingin’ from the rafters shoutin’ “She is mine!”
Ale on the floorboards, sparks in the grin
I don’t start the fire — I just let it in
Whistle Break
(Instrumental stomp section — claps, whistles, fiddle run)
Bridge (playful villain moment)
Oh I’ll bless you with a wicked grin
Drag you close and pull you in
Say a prayer and count to three —
The sinner here is you, not me
Final Chorus – ALL IN
HEY!
Saints don’t dance like this!
Clap your hands and steal a kiss!
Spin me once and take the risk —
We were born for nights like this!
HEY!
Let the rafters shake and roar!
Boot heels pound the tavern floor!
If you leave, you’ll beg for more —
We’ll be legends evermore!
