B7
Well, I used to smile when I was a pup,
B7
sailing down the Nile in a china cup
E7
with the recipe for a lovely day,
B7
sticking out of my back pocket.
E7
But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
Ab7
we used to fight like cats and dogs
E7 B7
till we made it up in the ballroom.
B7 E7
Ballroom dancing made a man of me.

Ballroom dancing, seen it on T.V.
B7 E7 A7 B7
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.
On a carpet ride to foreign land
at the time of Davy Crokett.
But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
‘cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
till we made it up in the ballroom.
Ballroom dancing made a man of me.
One, two, three, four, I just plain adore you.
Ballroom dancing, seen it on T.V.
I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing big B.D.

Well, the kids have flown to a better life.
Now the boy’s a man and the girl’s his wife.
And the summertime never seems to last
when you’re riding on a rocket.
But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
we used to fight like cats and dogs
till we made it up in the ballroom.
Ballroom dancing made a man of me.
One and a two and a three and four, I just plain adore you.
Ballroom dancing, seen it on T.V.
I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing big B.D.

Oh, oh.
