Lyrics
THE PALACE
Folks come from miles around to a dance hall just outside pf town
In neon lights above the door it says "The Palace"
Last week I called my girl said, "let's give the hall a whirl
She asked, "would you mind if I brought along Aunt Alice"
Well what else could I say, "sure that would be OK
But if you think I'm dancin' with her you got it wrong"
Thought I caught a giggle there, I let it go, no time to spare
I had to pick 'em up before too long
Said,"you go ahead, bring Aunt Alice
We'll go dancin' at The Palace
That place rocks, nine o'clock till one
Now I say this with no malice
I'm with you tonight, not Alice
Spose I could dance with her once but then we're done"
I found out about that giggle see, it meant she planned on leavin' me
And Aunt Alice standin' at The Palace door
While she put the moves on some biker dude from Tuscon
And made all the rounds out on the floor
Alice turned to me and said, "we might as well be dancin'
Instead of standin' out here lookin' all forlorn
I took a first long look I mean into the brownest eyes I've seen
And just like that, true romance was born
Now me and Aunt Alice go dancin' at The Palace
Most every night, nine o'clock till one
And I say this with no malice
To the girl that brought me Alice
That right there's the nicest thing you've ever done
I admit she's got some miles on
But I wouldn't say her looks are gone
And her love train ain't sittin' in the station
Now me and Aunt Alice
Go dancin' at The Palace
Most every night, nine oclock till one
They'll call out "last dance" again
I'll take her home, she'll ask me in
And we'll take that love train for another run
We'll take that love train for another run
