When you're ready for steady to go dancin', romancin'
E
Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car
Drive right on down to the bright side of town
A
You'll be glad you don't have to drive far
E A
You'll be happy you don't have to go far
D
Park your pickups and Cadilacs, Fords and Renaults
A E A *
A
Grandmammy, grandpappy if you plan to stay happy
E
You better lace up your best dancin shoes
Come see us, don't write us, you can stop your arthritis
A
Just by dancin' away your blues
E A
Just by dancin' away your blues
D
So bind up your bunions with band-aids and gauze

I met a fine banker and I'd sure like to thank him
E
For the credit he gave me made me shout
He changed my whole attitude and to show him ny gratitude
A
I decided I'd just ask him out.
E A
Yes I thought I just might ask her out
D
I said close up your windows, honey, lock up your vaults

We spent the next to the last dollar in the old ice cream parlor
E
On a milkshake and a malt and a pop
Then we heard us some sounds, there was a honky tonk lounge
A
Right Next to the ice cream shop
E A
Next door to the ice cream shop
D
Now only two things are better than milkshakes and malts
A E A *
A
And the other is somethin', but really it's nothin'
E
To speak of it's somethin' to do
If you've done it before, you'll be doin' it some more
A
Just as soon as the dancin' is through
E A
Right after the dancin' is through
D
And if anybody asks you why, just tell it's because
A E A
You been dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz.
