1988 Lyrics - Jakob Sveistrup

Chorus: 

Friday night fever 

but I got here way too late 

Friday night fever 

and it's like I can't relate 

Friday night fever 

I hide behind my shades 

Friday night fever 

Wish it was 1988

Now it ain't every night I hit the city lights 

cause it takes half a week just to pay the price 

I still got the power, I still got the moves 

I'm not afraid to get into the groove 

Chorus: 

Friday night fever 

but I got here way too late 

Friday night fever 

and it's like I can't relate 

Friday night fever 

I hide behind my shades 

Friday night fever 

Wish it was 1988 

Deep inside - I still feel the same 

but now I see that everybody else around me changed 

Oh that new jack swing still sounds good to me 

on the urban scene I'm still longing for that beat

Chorus: 

Friday night fever 

but I got here way too late 

Friday night fever 

and it's like I can't relate 

Friday night fever 

I hide behind my shades 

Friday night fever 

Wish it was 1988 

Friday night fever 

but I got here way too late 

Friday night fever 

and it's like I can't relate 

Friday night fever 

There's no way I'm getting laid 

Friday night fever 

Wish it was 1988 

Talkin' about 

Nineteen eighty ee-eeight 

Tonight 

Talkin' about 

Nineteen eighty ee-eeight 

alright 

I can keep time in an oldschool rhyme 

Cause the 2 and the 4 never go out of style 

Let me take a beat from a funked up dream 

and kick it with you here in twenty-eighteen 

1 to the 9 to the 8 to the 8 

Put your hands in the air and celebrate 

Poppin' away like back in the day 

Put your booty in the air and let it shake 

1 to the 9 to the 8 to the 8 

Put your hands in the air and celebrate 

Poppin' away like back in the day 

Put your booty in the air and let it shake 

1 to the 9 to the 8 to the 8 ... 

Chorus: 

Friday night fever 

I came to get my kicks 

Friday night fever 

To show `em my old tricks 

Friday night fever 

Gonna get back into the mix 

Friday night fever 

Like it was 1986 

Chorus: 

Friday night fever 

but I got here way too late 

Friday night fever 

and it's like I can't relate 

Friday night fever 

Now Im gonna change the game 

Friday night fever 

like it was 1988 

Talkin' about 

Nineteen eighty ee-eeight
