The school Christmas party is coming
|
We ain't doing rugby no more
|
McIntyre's teaching us waltzing
|
Out on the gymnasium floor
|
Out on the gymnasium floor
|
|
McIntyre's out of the army
|
You'll be slippered if you get it wrong
|
McIntyre's din booms loud in the gym
|
And we've only got a little short song
|
We've only got a little short song
|
|
And it's one-two-three two-two we're all a disgrace
|
McIntyre tore us apart
|
And we danced with ourselves, when we'd all found a space
|
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
|
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
|
|
Comes the day of the final maneuvers
|
All of our heads are a-whirl
|
It's gettin' much closer to D-day
|
This time we're going to do it with girls
|
This time we're going to do it with girls
|
|
In the arena the ladies were waiting
|
A twelve year old partner to guide
|
Some matches were fixed, the rest of us mixed
|
And a fat girl got left at the side
|
A fat girl got left at the side
|
|
And it's one-two-three two-two we're all a disgrace
|
McIntyre tore us apart
|
And we danced with ourselves, when we'd all found a space
|
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
|
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
|
|
When you come to my fights and I'm under the lights
|
And you see that my footwork is false
|
Don't count me out, at the start of the bout
|
I'm just doing the secondary waltz
|
Doing the secondary waltz
|
