Well, I used to smile when I was a pup,
        B7
sailing down the Nile in a china cup
         E7
with the recipe for a lovely day,
         B7
sticking out of my back pocket.

        E7
But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
                      Ab7
we used to fight like cats and dogs
        E7                B7
till we made it up in the ballroom.

 B7              E7
Ballroom dancing made a man of me.
B7                     E7
One, two, three, four, I just plain adore you.
 B7                E7
Ballroom dancing, seen it on T.V.

I got what I got from ballroom dancing big B.D.

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 foreign land
at the time of Davy Crokett.

But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
'cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
till we made it up in the ballroom.

Ballroom dancing made a man of me.
One, two, three, four, I just plain adore you.
Ballroom dancing, seen it on T.V.
I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing big B.D.

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

But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
we used to fight like cats and dogs
till we made it up in the ballroom.

Ballroom dancing made a man of me.
One and a two and a three and four, I just plain adore you.
Ballroom dancing, seen it on T.V.
I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing big B.D.
