B
Well, I used to smile when I was a pup,
B
sailing down the Nile in a china cup
E
with the recipe for a lovely day,
B
sticking out of my back pocket.
E
But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
G#m
we used to fight like cats and dogs
E B
till we made it up in the ballroom.
B E
Ballroom dancing made a man of me.
B E
One, two, three, four, I just plain adore you.
B E
Ballroom dancing, seen it on T.V.
B E A B
I got what I got from ballroom dancing big B.D.
B
Well, I used to fly when I was a kid
B
and I didn’t cry if it hurt a bit.
E
On a carpet ride to foreign land
E
at the time of Davy Crokett.
E
But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
G#m
‘cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
E B
till we made it up in the ballroom.
B E
Ballroom dancing made a man of me.
B E
One, two, three, four, I just plain adore you.
B E
Ballroom dancing, seen it on T.V.
B E A B
I got what I got from ballroom dancing big B.D.

B
Well, the kids have flown to a better life.
B
Now the boy’s a man and the girl’s his wife.
E
And the summertime never seems to last
E
when you’re riding on a rocket.
E
But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
G#m
‘cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
E B
till we made it up in the ballroom.
B E
Ballroom dancing made a man of me.
B E
One, two, three, four, I just plain adore you.

Ballroom dancing, seen it on T.V.
