The Waltz

[Verse 1] Back at that high school cotillion Chances were one in a million She had that angora sweater How could I ever forget her? She had a body you'd kill for You hoped that she'd take the pill for She up and said I'm a dancer Don't tell me, you are a Cancer [Bridge] And some sez it's true It's all she can do Take her or leave her But let her get hold of you [Verse 2] I made my move to the floor One lonely night left in store I can still prove I am sure She is what loving is for The girl is the pride of fandango The world takes my mind with a tango A star in the night lights Topanga Far from the lights of Tarzana [Bridge] Be-bop a-da-na Oh, be-bop na-na-na We dance for the chance of romance, boy Ain't it the truth? You take two steps forward Take one step right back to your youth So long ago, you were a Romeo [Verse 3] Went back to my alma mater I asked to dance with her daughter She said if it's not a bother First dance is just for my father Love can make this old world tremble Life is someone you resemble We dance and the mood starts to tumble We kiss and my heart starts to crumble [Outro] Ah Hoop-do-be-doo, hoop-do-be-doo ah Ah Hoop-do-be-doo, hoop-do-be-doo Ah Hoop-do-be-doo, hoop-do-be-doo (Ah) Ah Hoop-do-be-doo, hoop-do-be-doo
