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

A week or so did pass

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?
