1
When you're ready for steady to go dancin', romancin'
2
Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car
3
Drive right on down to the bright side of town
4
You'll be glad you don't have to drive far
5
You'll be happy you don't have to go far
6
Park your pickups and Cadilacs, Fords and Renaults
7
And dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
8
Grandmammy, grandpappy if you plan to stay happy
9
You better lace up your best dancin shoes
10
Come see us, don't write us, you can stop your arthritis
11
Just by dancin' away your blues
12
Just by dancin' away your blues
13
So bind up your bunions with band-aids and gauze
14
Come dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
15
SOLO
16
I met a fine banker and I'd sure like to thank him
17
For the credit he gave me made me shout
18
He changed my whole attitude and to show him ny gratitude
19
I decided I'd just ask him out.
20
Yes I thought I just might ask her out
21
I said close up your windows, honey, lock up your vaults
22
And dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
23
We spent the next to the last dollar in the old ice cream parlor
24
On a milkshake and a malt and a pop
25
Then we heard us some sounds, there was a honky tonk lounge
26
Right Next to the ice cream shop
27
Next door to the ice cream shop
28
Now only two things are better than milkshakes and malts
29
And one is dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
30
And the other is somethin', but really it's nothin'
31
To speak of it's somethin' to do
32
If you've done it before, you'll be doin' it some more
33
Just as soon as the dancin' is through
34
Right after the dancin' is through
35
And if anybody asks you why, just tell it's because
36
You been dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz.
