The refrain is taken from a song of the Dubliners |
'Dance, dance, wherever you may be, I am the Lord of the Dance said he And I lead you all, wherever you may be, And I lead you all to the Dance, said he,* I'll follow, I'll follow, quoth she I'll follow you wherever you take me I'll follow to the mountain or the sea I'll follow you for coffee or tea. So they danced the ballet and the tango They danced the apple and the mango. They danced the folk dance and the classic They danced through the thin and the thick. They danced by day they danced by night They danced on land, at sea or on a flight. They danced indoors and danced out They danced, They danced, without a doubt. They danced through hill and through dale Through fine weather and a gale They danced on the streets and in the park They danced under lights and in the dark. They danced so much without getting tired They really had people inspired Everyone in the town now wants to dance And teachers and dentists have no chance Their students and patients move so much They're hard to teach and hard to touch So they requested the couple to stop And that's what I'll do too, or I'll write till I drop. |
