Well, I used to smile when I was a pup,
        B
sailing down the Nile in a china cup
         E
with the recipe for a lovely day,
         B
sticking out of my back pocket.

        E
But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
                      G#m
we used to fight like cats and dogs
        E                 B
till we made it up in the ballroom.

 B               E
Ballroom dancing made a man of me.
B                      E
One, two, three, four, I just plain adore you.
 B                 E
Ballroom dancing, seen it on T.V.
B                              E        A    B
I got what I got from ballroom dancing big B.D.

             B
Well, I used to fly when I was a kid
             B
and I didn’t cry if it hurt a bit.
     E
On a carpet ride to foreign land
       E
at the time of Davy Crokett.

        E
But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
                             G#m
‘cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
        E                 B
till we made it up in the ballroom.

B               E

Well, the kids have flown to a better life.
              B
Now the boy’s a man and the girl’s his wife.
        E
And the summertime never seems to last
            E
when you’re riding on a rocket.
