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.

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.

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 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.
