Eats an' drinks an' smokes are gone Ice on th'steps an' you cain't git home; Hang y'r things on th' peg in th' corner; Giggle an' wiggle an' dance a little longer Dance aroun', dance a little longer Just gotta hold you just a little longer; Bing an' talk, joke a little longer; Just gotta hold you justa little longer Rained three days an' th' barditch full; I cain't git home, it'sa muddy old pull; I live on toppa that bad hill yonder That's why I gotta dance a little longer Tonight's th' night that th' muddy flood come Took my house and it tooken my barn; Drowned my goose an' drowned my gander That's why I gotta dance a little longer Lightnin' sat my place onne fire Thunder shook down my floorin' boards; Wild wind come along end it stole my lumber; That's why I gotta dance a little longer I tied my ship to a downtock dock Tidal wave run in an' give it a knock; It wrecked my boat an' shivvered my timbers; That's why I gotta dance a little longer I tied my bicycle up to a post An' it got stole by a graveyard ghost; He won't bring it back till you kiss my stronger; That's why I gotta dance a little longer I hadda date tonight witha gal down th' road Told ‘er I'd stop off an' dump my load; She's pretty pretty, but you're lots perttyooee; That's why I gotta dance a little longer
