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
But it wasn't always such a pretty sight
'cos 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
Big b.d.
Well i used to fly when i was a kid
And i didn't cry if it hurt a bit
An a carpet ride to a foreign land
At the time of davy crockett
But it wasn't always such a pretty sight
'cos 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 went so fast and we all grew up
Now the days that pa**ed in the china cup
Are the memories of another day
And i wouldn't want to knock it
But it wasn't always such a pretty sight
'cos 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.
Oh!...
