[Verse]
I’m dressed in gold
I’m shining bright
(Ooh, yeah!) My platform shoes
They feel so right
I see the lights
They’re callin' me in
But the velvet rope
Says I can't begin

[Chorus]
Denied at the door
Oh no
Oh no
Can’t touch the floor
Won’t let me go
Denied at the door
Oh why
Oh why
Studio dreams
Just wave goodbye

[Verse 2]
I’ve got my moves
I’ve got my style
(Ooh, yeah!) Been practicin’ for a while
The bouncer stares
His head just shakes
My funky soul
He underrates

[Prechorus]
The music’s loud
I feel the beat
(Ooh, feel the beat, yeah!)
But here I stand
Out on the street

[Chorus]
Denied at the door
Oh no
Oh no
Can’t touch the floor
Won’t let me go
Denied at the door
Oh why
Oh why
Studio dreams
Just wave goodbye

[Bridge]
Mirror ball reflections
Out of my reach
(Ooh, yeah!) Disco perfection
A distant beach
I scream
I plead
I beg for my chance
But they won’t let me in to the glittering dance
