  			G       
You can dance every dance with the guy 
                              D7               
Who gives you the eye let him hold you tight 
D7  
You can smile every smile for the guy 
                                G 
Who holds your hand  neath the pale moonlight 
          C 
But don't forget who's taking you home 
                       G      
And in his arms you're gonna be 
   D7                              G       
Oh darling save the last dance for me 
            
Yes I know that the music's fine 
                            D7 
Like sparkling wine  go and have your fun 
 
Dance and sing  but while we're apart 
                          G       
Don't give your heart to any one 
          C               
And don't forget who's taking you home 
                       G      
And in his arms you're gonna be 
   D7                              G      
Oh darling save the last dance for me

G

Till the night is gone and it's time to go 
             
If he asks if you're all alone 
                              G 
Can he take you home you must tell him no 
          C 
And don't forget who's taking you home

D7  
You can smile every smile for the guy 
                                    G 
Who holds your hand  neath the pale moonlight 
          C 
But don't forget who's taking you home 
                       G      
And in his arms you're gonna be

Oh darling save the last dance for me
