Bored Of The Dance
(Nudds & Sugden) From The Kipper Family, Fresh Yesterday Copyright Dambuster Records
This one is dedicated to all those guys that don't like to dance! I usually will throw a bit of the brogue into my performance, as well as a bit of hammus dramiticus (hamming it up). I think I found this one on Cantaria. Sung to the tune of Lord of the Dance... Michael Flatley, eat your heart out! Uh... Candyce, of course this has NOTHING to do with Court Dances....G
As I walked down to the village hall
D D7
I met Charlie leanin' on the wall
G
"Why are you standin' out here, Char-lee?"
D G
"Cause I am bored of the dance!" said he!G
Chorus: Dance! Dance! Whatever do they see?
D
In prancin' round all the time, said he
G
I'll leave them all to do it without me
D G
For I am bored of the dance, said he!G
I come to the dance with my girl, he said
D D7
I told her that I'd rather go to bed,
G
Oh yes I'm sure you would, said she,
D G
But first you'll come and dance with me!G
She said, You'll come and dance right now!
D D7
But I weren't list'nin' when the caller told us how
G
They "cast left," but "right" I went
D G
They danced on, but I ended in the "Gents'!"G
I drank with the Morris-men, James and John,
D D7
They drank with me as the dance went on and on,
G
We drank and we drank till it all went black.
D G
It's hard to dance when you're lyin' on your back!G
Oh, how she danced on the night they were wed
D D7
She danced, he drank, and then they went to bed
G
I'm afraid there's no more story to be told
D G
She was too hot, and he was out cold!Return to the Others' Songs
