Do you remember

The twenty-first night of September?

Love was changin' the minds of pretenders

While chasin' the clouds away

Our hearts were ringin'

In the key that our souls were singin'

As we danced in the night, remember

How the stars stole the night away, oh yeah

[Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey

Ba-dee-ya

Say, do you remember?

Ba-dee-ya

Dancin' in September

Ba-dee-ya

Never was a cloudy day

[Post-Chorus]

Ba-du, ba-du, ba-du, ba-du

Ba-du, ba-du, ba-du, ba-du

Ba-du, ba-du, ba-du-da

Ba-du, yeah

[Verse 2]

My thoughts are with you

Holdin' hands with your heart to see you

Only blue talk and love, remember

How we knew love was here to stay

Now December

Found a love we shared in September

Only blue talk and love, remember

True love we share today

[Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Ba-dee-ya

Say, do you remember?

Ba-dee-ya (Oh)

Dancin' in September

Ba-dee-ya (Hey)

Never was a cloudy day

And we'll say ba-dee-ya (Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya)

Say, do you remember?

Ba-dee-ya (Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya)

Dancin' in September

Ba-dee-ya (Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya)

Golden dreams were shiny days (Dee-ya)

[Bridge]

The bells was ringin', oh-oh

Our souls were singin'

Do you remember never a cloudy day? Yow

[Chorus]

And we'll say ba-dee-ya (Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya)

Say, do you remember?

Ba-dee-ya (Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya)

Dancin' in September

Ba-dee-ya (Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya)

Never was a cloudy day (Dee-ya)

And we'll say ba-dee-ya (Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya)

Say, do you remember?

Ba-dee-ya (Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya)

Dancin' in September

Ba-dee-ya (Ba-dee ya, dee-ya)

Golden dreams were shiny days (Dee-ya)
