    So glad to see you
    So glad you're here
    Come here beside me now
    We can clear inhibition away
    All inhibitions
    Throw them away
    And when we dance like this
    Like we've never been dancin' before

    Chorus:
    Oh, they were swingin'
    Down at Kingdom Hall
    Oh, bells were ringin'
    Down at the Kingdom Hall
    A choir was singin'
    Down at the Kingdom Hall
    Hey, liley, liley, liley
    Hey, liley, liley, low
    Do do do do do do, do
    Do do do do do do
    Do do do do do do, do
    Do do do do do do

    Good body music
    Brings you right here
    Free flowin' motion now
    When we're shakin' it out on the floor
    Good rockin' music
    Down in your shoes
    And when we dance like this
    Like we've never been dancin' before

    Repeat Chorus

    Down at the Kingdom Hall
    They were havin' a party
    They were havin' a ball
    Bells were ringing out
    And the choir was singin'
    Hey, liley, liley, liley
    Hey, liley, liley, low
    Do do, do do, do do, do do
    Sugar was there
    Did you see Sugar
    Down at the Kingdom Hall

    Did you know this song? It was written by Van Morrison in 1978 (album: Wavelenght) and, according to his biographer Brian Hinton, quoted by Wikipedia, it "evoked Morrison's own childhood experiences attending church with his mother". In some interviews, he confirmed he occasionally attended JWs meetings with his mother, although she never became a member (http://www.adherents.com/people/pm/Van_Morrison.html)

    Given the text of the song, I wonder which KH he attended ;-)

    More accurate to to say they were "Dirging and mumbling down the Kingdom hall"
