[English]

Now it's official

Can't back out, no way

Getting ready for the big night

The night of nights, alright

Don't Panic (Panic!)

Do we have to dress up for prom?

Dude, I don't think we really have a choice

Yeah, it's the night of all nights

Gotta look just right

Dressing to impress the guys

Should I go classic, vintage, or plaid?

Where's the mirror?

I think this tux is too baggy

Too tight, it makes me look weird

Should I go glam like a movie star, sassy, or sweet?

I don't know, but no one better wear the same dress as me

It's the night of our nightmares

It's the night of our dreams

It's too late to back out now

Hair makeup, massages

Don't know what a corsage is

We've waited all our lives for this

It's gonna be a night (can't wait)

To remember (oh man)

Come on, it's gonna be fun (alright)

It's gonna be the night (I guess)

That lasts forever (lucky us)

We'll never, ever forget

Getting ready, getting, getting ready

Getting ready, getting, getting ready

(Hey, you've been in there an hour, man)

So, what should I do with my hair?

Where's my shaver?

Ooh, I love it

I look like a waiter

Should I fluff it?

It’s getting late, I should be there

Her mother opens the door, I'm shaking inside

He's here, it's time, the moment's arrived

Don't know why, her dad's staring me down

Where's my purse? Lip gloss? Now I'm freaking out

Then something changes my world

The most beautiful girl right in front of me

It's gonna be a night (oh yeah!)

To remember (that's for sure)

Come on, it's gonna be fun (alright!)

It's gonna be the night (yeah, tonight)

That lasts forever (forever more)

We'll never, ever forget

...

Who's that girl? (she's so fine)

...

Who's that guy? (I don't recognize)

Who's that girl? (she looks so good, yeah)

You might not even notice, but you probably should

Big night, on the night of nights (alright)

The night of nights, tonight

Let's dance

On the night of nights

You know we're gonna do it right

It's gonna be a night to remember

It's gonna be the night that lasts forever

...

It's gonna be a night to remember

...

It's gonna be the night that lasts forever

(Last forever)

It's gonna be our night (you know it)

To remember (all the time)

Come on, it's gonna be fun (big fun)

It's gonna be the night (love it)

That lasts forever (for the rest of our lives)

We'll never, ever forget

It's gonna be our night (oh yeah)

All together (say it loud)

Come on now, everyone (that's right)

It's gonna be a night (yeah, tonight)

To remember (hear the crowd)

And never, ever, ever, never, ever, ever, never, ever, ever forget!

...
