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
But it wasn't always such a pretty sight
we used to fight like cats and dogs till
we made it up in the ball room ball room
dancing made a man of me one two three four
i just plain adore your ball room dancing seen it on TV

I got what I got from ball room
dancing big B D 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 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 ball room ball room dancing
made a man of me one two three four
I just plain adore your ball room dancing
Seen it on TV
I got quite a lot from ball room dancing big B D
well the kids have flown to a better
life now the boy's a man and the girl's
his wife and the summer time never seems
to last when you're riding on the rocket
but it wasn't always such a pretty sight
we used to fight like cats and dogs till
we made it up in the ball room ball room
dancing made a man of me one and a two
and a three and four I just plain adore
your ball room dancing seen it on TV
I got quite a lot from ball room dancing big BD.
