When you're ready for steady to go dancin', romancin' |
|
Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car |
|
Drive right on down to the bright side of town |
|
You'll be glad you don't have to drive far |
|
You'll be happy you don't have to go far |
|
Park your pickups and Cadilacs, Fords and Renaults |
|
And dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz |
|
Grandmammy, grandpappy if you plan to stay happy |
|
You better lace up your best dancin shoes |
|
Come see us, don't write us, you can stop your arthritis |
|
Just by dancin' away your blues |
|
Just by dancin' away your blues |
|
So bind up your bunions with band-aids and gauze |
|
Come dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz |
|
SOLO |
|
I met a fine banker and I'd sure like to thank him |
|
For the credit he gave me made me shout |
|
He changed my whole attitude and to show him ny gratitude |
|
I decided I'd just ask him out. |
|
Yes I thought I just might ask her out |
|
I said close up your windows, honey, lock up your vaults |
|
And dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz |
|
We spent the next to the last dollar in the old ice cream parlor |
|
On a milkshake and a malt and a pop |
|
Then we heard us some sounds, there was a honky tonk lounge |
|
Right Next to the ice cream shop |
|
Next door to the ice cream shop |
|
Now only two things are better than milkshakes and malts |
|
And one is dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz |
|
And the other is somethin', but really it's nothin' |
|
To speak of it's somethin' to do |
|
If you've done it before, you'll be doin' it some more |
|
Just as soon as the dancin' is through |
|
Right after the dancin' is through |
|
And if anybody asks you why, just tell it's because |
|
You been dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz. |
