(Hi-de-le, tang-tang, ba-do-ooo)

Meeting (meeting) in smokey places
(Hi-de-le, a-tang-a-tang-a-tang-a)
Hiding (hiding) in shadowy corners
(Wah-wah-wah-wah)

Dancing where no one knows our faces

Sharing love stolen in the night

In smokey places

Mmm-mmm-mmm

Meeting in smokey (wit' you) places
Mmm-mmm-mm (sharing)
Hiding in shadowy (wit' you) corners
Oh, we are dancing
Where nobody knows are faces
Sharing love stolen in the night (it's a pity)
Umm, in smokey places

Some sunny day
(Sunny day, set you free)
A-he will set you free

Free-eee-e
(I'll wait, you to be free)
To be by my side

In smokey places

Sharing love stolen in the night
