I knew an old man once He told me "don't you dance" And if I ever did He'd told me, I'd die A week or so did pass I found this pretty lass She asked me "won't you dance?" I would but, I'd die
And I stopped and wondered, did she really mean what she said? Such a pretty girl alone every night in her bed? All my life these feet have been glued to the floor If I didn't now would I ever get the chance once more?
I knew an old man once He told be "don't you dance" And if I ever did He'd told me, I'd die A week or so did pass I found this pretty lass She asked me "won't you dance" I would but, I'd die
"of course you wouldn't dance I'll never find romance Who'd want this ugly girl? You wouldn't, you'd die." And there I stood in trance I'd pierce her with my lance She's crying tears I'd cure I would but, I'd die.
And I stopped and wondered, did she really mean what she said? I'd imagine such a pretty girl all alone in her bed? All this night these eyes have been glued to her face If I didn't now would I even get the chance to taste her embrace?
And I stopped and wondered, did she really mean what she said? If I jiggied with this pretty girl, would I really end up dead? All my life these feet have been glued to the floor If I didn't now would I ever get the chance once more?
