G       
You can dance every dance with the girl 
                              D7               
Who gives you the eye let her hold you tight 

You can smile every smile for the girl 
                               G 
Who holds your hand  neath the pale moonlight 
          C 
But don't forget who's taking you home 
                      G      
And whose 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 anyone 
          C               
And don't forget who's taking you home 
                      G      
And whose arms you're gonna be 
   D7                              G      
Oh darling save the last dance for me 
  
       
You can dance go and carry on 
                                D7       
Till the night is gone and it's time to go 
             
If she asks if you're all alone 
                               G 
Can she take you home you must tell her no 
          C 
And don't forget who's taking you home 
                         G       
And in whose arms you're gonna be 
   D7                              G             
Oh darling save the last dance for me 

    
           
          C 
But don't forget who's taking you home 
                         G      
And in whose arms you're gonna be 
   D7                              G       
Oh darling save the last dance for me 
   D7                              G       
Oh darling save the last dance for me
