One Last Dance

I knew an old man once

He told me "don't you dance"

And if i ever did

He'd told me, i'd die

A week or so did pass

I found this pretty lass

She asked me "won't you dance?"

I would but, i'd die

And i stopped and wondered, did she really mean what she said?

Such a pretty girl alone every night in her bed?

All my life these feet have been glued to the floor

If i didn't now would i ever get the chance once more?

I knew an old man once

He told be "don't you dance"

And if i ever did

A week or so did pass

She asked me "won't you dance"

I would but, i'd die

"of course you wouldn't dance

I'll never find romance

Who'd want this ugly girl?

You wouldn't, you'd die."

And there i stood in trance

I'd pierce her with my lance

She's crying tears i'd cure

I would but, i'd die.

And i stopped and wondered, did she really mean what she said?

I'd imagine such a pretty girl all alone in her bed?

All this night these eyes have been glued to her face

If i didn't now would i even get the chance to taste her embrace?

And i stopped and wondered, did she really mean what she said?

If i jiggied with this pretty girl, would i really end up dead?

All my life these feet have been glued to the floor

If i didn't now would i ever get the chance once more?
