Story Behind the Song
The first verse says it all: "Better than the memory, even better than the deed itself, sweeter than them both is the anticipation first."
Lyrics
Better than the memory,
even better than the deed itself,
sweeter than them both is the
anticipation first.
Who knows what may lie ahead,
what the evening has in store?
When the night is over,
won't be wondering anymore.
She's a girl who's lots of fun.
She's like Mary Ann and Ginger all in one.
I've been looking forward to this
day a long, long time.
Filled with expectation,
is this happening for real?
Only time can lessen the
anxiety I feel.
Seemed so far away, now it's in sight.
(Hot Date Tonight, Hot Date Tonight)
After all this wrong, she'll make it right.
(Hot Date Tonight, Hot Date Tonight)
Don't know where I'm going to
after all that I've been through.
This boy's got a real Hot Date Tonight.
Shaving in the mirror,
I'm afraid that I might cut myself.
Both my hands are shaking
from this nervousness in me.
Gazing at my window,
I can see the twilight's near.
No more contemplation, ‘cause the
eveningtime is here.
Seemed so far away, now it's in sight.
(Hot Date Tonight, Hot Date Tonight)
After all this wrong, she'll make it right.
(Hot Date Tonight, Hot Date Tonight)
Don't know where I'm going to
after all that I've been through.
This boy's got a real Hot Date Tonight.
(instrumental)
When I'm climbing up the stairs
leading up to her apartment there,
I'm almost in agony from
wishing for this day.
Then, at last, I see her face
and it shimmers like the sun.
It was worth each second. Now my
waiting's finally done.
Seemed so far away, now it's in sight.
(Hot Date Tonight, Hot Date Tonight)
After all this wrong, she'll make it right.
(Hot Date Tonight, Hot Date Tonight)
Don't know where I'm going to
after all that I've been through,
This boy's got a real Hot Date Tonight.
Seemed so far away, now it's in sight.
(Hot Date Tonight, Hot Date Tonight)
After all this wrong, she'll make it right.
(Hot Date Tonight, Hot Date Tonight)
Don't know where I'm going to
after all that I've been through,
Franko's got a real Hot Date Tonight.
