Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high hand-stand
Take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel

We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze

When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was [bad word] Oh, I said

Dance hall days long

Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and, "There, there, there"
And take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears

We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze

When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was [bad word] Oh, I said

Dance hall days long
Dance hall days
Dance hall days long

Take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you

And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her

And she needs you

We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was [bad word] Oh, I said

Dance hall days long

Dance hall days long
Dance hall days
Dance hall days long
Dance hall days
Dance hall days long
Dance hall days
Dance hall days long...
