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
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
He'd told me, I'd die
week or so did pass
I found this pretty lass
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?
Id imagine such a pretty girl all alone every night 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 didnt now would i ever get the chance once more?
