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.
