Away In the Dance Hall
Away in the dance hall
no partner in tow.
I had it in my mind
to put on a show.
But with my two left feet
trouble lay in store.
Attempting the tango
I cleared half the floor.
Most of the ladies there
just gave me a glance.
When asking for a waltz
they cried not a chance.
Until a young lady
at last caught my eye.
I asked her for a dance
she seemed kind of shy.
But alas just like me
she had two left feet.
So parted company
in time to the beat.
