Well I've been dancing all my life, as long as I remember
My Mama taught us one by one
To learn to dance together
Well I got no pay and I got no job and I got no money in the bank
But Friday night at the stroke of nine we'd still head for the dance
With a one pound note that I got from my Mother
Chattin' up one girl and eyin' up the other
Talkin' about nothing but a change in the weather
Friday at the dance
With the boys on the left and the girls on the right
And Mum there in the middle
She'd ask us if we had no drink and to swear it on the bible
We'd stay all night till the cows came home if given half a chance
Nothing could compare with the people there, Friday at the dance
With a one pound note that I got from my Mother
Chattin' up one girl and eyin' up the other
Talkin' about nothing but a change in the weather
Friday at the dance
My how the time it passes on from one day to another
If I'd the chance to start again
I'd do the same all over
Well we got no gold and we got no boat, we got no villa in France
But Friday night at the stroke of nine we still head for the dance
With a one pound note that I got from y Mother
Chattin' up one girl and eyin' up the other
Talkin' about nothing but a change in the weather
Friday at the dance
With a one pound note that I got from my Mother
Chattin' up one girl and eyin' up the other
Talkin' about nothing but a change in the weather
Friday at the dance
