Dancing In the Kitchen
I Love the ground you walk on
So don't take this the wrong
way
Go grab a beer and park it
And listen to what I gotta say
I appreciate the diamonds
And the expensive foreign cars
And how you bust your butt at
work
And don't cruise the local bars.
But I want to dance with you
in the kitchen
And maybe sing along
Like mamma and daddy used
to do
When they heard a favorite
song.
When Daddy would up and
grab her
They would dance the waltz
sublime
And you know my dear old
daddy
Copped a feel of her behind.
Mamma would slap his hand
away
And tell him to act his age
But she just kept on dancing
On the floor he'd made their
stage
I know this all sounds silly
Another thing that men don't
get
But the look in her eyes when
she danced with him
I never will forget.
So come on home in your
dancin' shoes
I've swept the kitchen floor
Don't bother to turn the lights
on
And it would be wise to lock
the door.
