I'm dancing round & round
 Acting just like a a clown
 I know I'll never be free

 I'm just a puppet on a string
 I've lost my pride & everything
 It began on the day we met
 She'd kiss me once & I was lost
 She thrills me now, I'll pay the cost
 Dancing the Nancy's Minuet

 (chorus)

 (instrumental)

 The music's deep within my heart
 She looks at me & the dancin' starts
 I'm just a foolish marionette
 I'll never break a single string
 To stay with her means everything
 Dancing the Nancy's Minuet

 (chorus
