Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
It's so neat to meet your baby where the action is

In every little town 'cross the USA
There's a spot where the people can go everyday
Just leave your problems and a-get away
Come on down and listen to the guitars play
Whoo! Dance, dance, dance, when you hear that beat
Whoo! Dance, dance, dance, get up off of your seat
Whoo! Dance, dance, dance, let your backbone slip
Let's go to the place on the Sunset Strip

Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
It's so neat to meet your baby where the action is

If all day long you been wanting to dance
Well, all night long you gonna have your chance
So don't sit at home just a-twiddling your thumbs
You can't resist the sound of the driving drums
Whoo! Dance, dance, dance, when you hear that beat
Whoo! Dance, dance, dance, get up off of your seat
Whoo! Dance, dance, dance, let your backbone slip
Lets go to the place on the Sunset Strip

Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
It's so neat to meet your baby where the action is
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is, whoo
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
It's so neat to meet your baby where the action is
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is, whoo
Oh baby come on, let me take you where the action is
Oh baby come on, let me take you where the action is
It's so neat to meet your baby where the action is
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is, whoo
Oh baby, come on
