AMERICA'S DANCIN' AGAIN

© 2002 LARRY MANGUM

1ST VERSE: IT WAS SATURDAY NIGHT AND AS FORTUNE WOULD HAVE IT
I WOUND UP AT MY FAVORITE DANCIN' HALL
I AM NO FRED ASTAIRE BUT I'VE BEEN KNOWN TO BOOGIE
WHEN I'M PRIMED UP ON SMOKE AND ALCOHOL
AND BESIDES THAT'S A SURE WAY OF MEETING A LADY
WHEN YOUR TIRED OF CEREBRAL JIVE
SO PICK YOU A STEP AND GRAB YOU A PARTNER
AMERICA IS DANCIN AGAIN


2ND VERSE: I AM NO LADIES MAN BUT CERTAIN KINDS OF WOMEN LIKE LONG
LEGS AND A THIN BUT WIREY FRAME
SO I STOOD AT THE BAR AND I STRUCK ME A PROFILE
'TIL I HEARD HER SAYIN COWBOY WHAT'S YOUR NAME
WELL DO YOU KNOW THE TWO STEP OR COTTON-EYED JOE
SHE ASKED ME AS THE PROMENADE BEGAN
I SAID PICK YOU A STEP YOU'VE FOUND YOU A PARTNER
AMERICA IS DANCIN AGAIN


3RD VERSE: THAT WAS TEN YEARS AGO ON THE NIGHT THAT WE MET
IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY
NOW IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT AND THE BABY'S ARE IN BED
LET'S FIND OUT IF WE STILL KNOW OUR OLD STEPS
MAKIN' LOVE IS A SURE WAY OF PLEASIN' A LADY
WHEN SHE'S TIRED OF YOUR HONKY TONK JIVE
WELL I STILL LOVE TO DANCE AND YOU'RE MY FAVORITE PARTNER AMERICA IS DANCIN AGAIN
