Come Dancing
Lyricist:Ray Davies
They put a parking lot on a piece of land When the supermarket used to stand Before that they put up a bowling alley On the site that used to be the local palace That's where the big bands used to come and play My sister went there on a Saturday
Come dancing, all her boyfriends used to come and call Why not come dancing, it's only natural?
Another Saturday, another date She would be ready but she's always make them wait In the hallway, in anticipation He didn't know the night would end up in frustration He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
Come dancing, that's how they did it when I was just a kid And when they said come dancing, my sister always did
My sister should have come in a midnight And my mom would always sit up and wait It always ended up in a big row Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com When my sister used to get home late
Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate
The day they knocked down the palace My sister stood and cried The day they knocked down the palace Part of my childhood died, just died
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band And there's a car park where the palace used to stand My sister's married and she lives on an estate Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait She knows they get away with things she never could But if I asked her I wonder if she would
Come dancing come on sister, have yourself a ball Don't be afraid to come dancing, it's only natural
Come dancing, just like the palace on a Saturday And all her friends will come dancing Where the big bands used to play
