D                   E9/G#
First of the month brings back the notion 
      G                                            A
Of a big round white dance hall in the cool summer night.
 D                     E9/G#
Red cherrub faces set black shoes in motion
        G                             A
To the om pa pa rhythm of a German delight.

       Bm                          A
And I tried hard to tell you I was no kinda dancer.
 D        D/C#      E7         
Takin' my hand to prove I was wrong.
      D                        E9/G#  
You guided me gently though I thought I could never.
          G        A             G          D
We were dancin' together at the end of the song. -

   D                          E9/G#
A taught little baldman, like a German war hero
       G                                         A
Would box some old matrons to a quick Jon Paul Jones.
 D                          E9/G#
Drapes of crate paper, the ball made of mirror,
       G                                      A
Cast shiney reflections on a brass slide trombone.

         Bm                          A

The man was still dancin' with his fan of partner
            G                                      A
Though the band had quit playin' at the evening's end.
    D                      E9/G#
It made me feel lucky that I had a partner 
     G                                     A
To teach me the dancesteps and come back again.
