Well, I used to smile when I was a pup, 
Sailing down the nile in china cup, 
With the recipe for a lovely day 
Sticking out my back pocket. 

That's it, kids! 

But it wasn't always such a pretty sight, 
We used to fight like cats and dogs 
Till me made it up in the ballroom. 

Ballroom dancing, made a man of me, 
One, two, three, four, 
I just plain adore your 
Ballroom dancing, seen it on tv 
I got what I got from ballroom dancing.

Here we go! 

Well, I used to fly when I was a kid, 
And I didn't cry if it hurt a bit, 
On a carpet ride to a foreign land 
At the time of davy crockett. 

Wave the sword! 
But it wasn't always such a pretty sight, 
We used to fight like cats and dogs 
Till me made it up in the ballroom. 

Ballroom dancing, made a man of me, 
One, two, three, four, 
I just plain adore your 
Ballroom dancing, seen it on tv 
I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing. 
Big b.d. 

Well, the kids have flown to a better life 
And the boy's a man and the girl's a wife 
And the summertime never seems to last 
When you're riding on a rocket. 

But, but it wasn't always such a pretty sight, 
Mm, we used to fight like cats and dogs 
Till me made it up in the ballroom. 

Ballroom dancing, made a man of me, 
One and a-two and a-three and a-four, 
I just plain adore your 
Ballroom dancing, seen it on tv 
I got what I got from ballroom dancing. 
Big B.D. 

Oh!
