"Let's dance in the classrooms."

That isn't the lyric.

What you hear
"Let's dance in the classrooms."
What's actually sung
"Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while." Forever Young — Alphaville (1984)

Why the ear defaults

A stress-matching mondegreen of the chorus. "In the classrooms" is a heavily-documented substitution in German-accented English ballads of the era.
