Great Big Sea

Dance, Dance

Great Big Sea


Friday night, seventeen 
Got my hands on the wheel 
But my mind is on Jeen 
Her silhouette 
I can't forget 
I'm gonna ask her yet 

My brothers truck, my Sunday slacks 
I've been working all week 
And I've got five bucks for gas 
And just for luck 
My grandfathers flask 
It's gonna take some nerve to ask 

Dance, Dance with me one more time, 
one more time 
Dance, Dance with me one more time 
Before the band is done 
Before your Daddy comes 
Dance, Dance with me one more time 

She's the apple of his eye 
And there's no way in hell 
He'll let her out of his sight 
There'll be trouble 
Maybe a fight 
If he knew what I had in mind 

I see it now, as plain as day 
A church and a chaplain 
On our wedding day 
Dressed in white 
She looks so fine 
You never know, she just might 
I'm gonna have to ask her tonight
