1
I learnt to dance when I was a boy
2
And dancing was my only joy
3
I'll still be dancing when you grow old
4
When the seas dry up and walls take fold
5
My father taught me how to dance
6
He said it was my only chance
7
To show the people how to be free -
8
An ordinary boy like me!
9
When the day came to go to school
10
The teacher took me for a fool
11
You should've heard the bugles roar
12
As I danced through the classroom door.
13
But I didn't cry, I didn't fret
14
I told them stuff their alphabet,
15
I packed my bags that very same night
16
And I took off in the morning light.
17
I heard a commodore blow his horn
18
And saw I knew they'd been forewarned
19
Twisting and to stir the wheat
20
The grass sprang up beneath my feet
21
I knew the dance would help to show
22
The trees and flowers how to grow
23
So knowing I must never tire
24
I gave a yell that there took fire.
25
One day I took it in me mind
26
The time had come for me to bind
27
So with me true love fair and wild
28
I hailed a toe right up the aisle
29
The people cheered, the thrushes drank
30
For miles around the church bells rang
31
The pub was closed and we were wed
32
So lost stop to our marriage bed.
33
In time came children, one two three,
34
They all looked like their mother and me
35
And through the hall and up the stairs
36
And up to bed to say their prayers.
37
But they still lost that prize on Earth
38
They soon forgot those steps they learnt
39
My wife grew old, I knew the day
40
Had come for me to dance away.
41
Over the mountains over the sea
42
Nothing on Earth could hold back me
43
So let me give you a word of warning
44
If you walk out on a bright spring morning:
45
Around the corner of the next street
46
You hear the sound of my dancing feet
47
Keep away, try not to hear,
48
Whatever you do, don't come too near
49
The dance may take you as it took me -
50
From lovers and friends and family.
