Ballroom Dancing

[Verse 1]

Well, I used to smile when I was a pup

Sailing down the Nile in a china cup

With the recipe for a lovely day

Sticking out of my back pocket

[Pre-Chorus]

But it wasn't always such a pretty sight

'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs

Then we made it up in the ballroom

[Chorus]

Ballroom dancing made a man of me

One, two, three, four

I just plain adore your ballroom dancing

Seen it on TV

I got what I got from ballroom dancing

Big B.D.

[Verse 2]

Well, I used to fly when I was a kid

And I didn't cry if it hurt a bit

On a carpet ride to a foreign land

At the time of Davy Crockett

[Pre-Chorus]

But it wasn't always such a pretty sight

'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs

Till we made it up in the ballroom

[Chorus]

Ballroom dancing made a man of me

One, two, three, four

I just plain adore your ballroom dancing

Seen it on TV

I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing

Big B.D.

[Skit]

... I can tell you the band is ready. We're starting with the first of five dancers in this competition: that's the cha-cha-cha!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Well, it went so fast and we all grew up

Now the days that passed in the china cup

Are the memories of another day

And I wouldn't want to knock it

[Pre-Chorus]

But it wasn't always such a pretty sight

'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs

Then we made it up in the ballroom

[Chorus]

Ballroom dancing made a man of me

One, two, three, four

I just plain adore your ballroom dancing

Seen it on TV

I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing

Big B.D.

Oh!
