The Ballroom

I went down to the Ballroom

She was dancing with her new fool

She said 'Paul, this is Henry'

Well I never know what to say when I meet 'em

I was taken to a party

I was accused of being deliberately downhearted

She said 'Paul, why so gloomy?'

Well I never know what to say when I meet 'em

Your wine tastes fine

Your friends are talking to me

I'd like to hide

Guess I'm all tongue-tied

Henry's gonna meet the family

They're gonna have him over for roast lamb next Sunday

Well good luck and I'm glad it's you

'Cause I never know what to say when I meet 'em

I was going home on Fitzroy

She was walking with her new boy

She said 'Paul, this is Tommy'

Well I never know what to say when I meet 'em
