I'd trade my life for a different scene An old milk cow for some magic beans What would i give? what would i trade? It's a question of pa**ion -that it is. I love you girl or excuse me, miss Did i get by or make the grade? Bye-bye to the dancing girls Bye-bye . so long. He was eleven and she only twelve Just old enough to dress themselves Was i just too dumb to see? They met at the fair under autumn's spell After casting each a penny in a wishing well But, it's too late she's history Bye-bye to the dancing girls Bye-bye . so long. Everytime i see your face i fall in love again I've got to stop throwing it all away -all away Read my book. pick your page. Hire the band and set the stage because Everything is holding tight Everything is feeling right And i'll say Bye-bye to the dancing girls Bye-bye . so long.
