Oh darling, it's gonna be late when we get back home

Can you wait till we get back home?

We don't go walking and a-reeling and a-rocking round the whole round town

Walking and talking round the whole round town

Don't go rolling and a-rocking round the whole round town

Let another man take you home

Let another man take you home



Oh darling, I wanted to leave but I had to stay

Boys wouldn't let me run away

Been walking and a-reeling and a-rocking round the whole round town

Been walking and talking round the whole round town

Been rolling and a-rocking round the whole round town

Let the morning bring me home

Let the morning bring me home



?This is? alright, go out all night

?This is? alright, go out all night

I tell you there's been no romancing

There's been no fancypantsing

I've been dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing



Oh darling, I want you to try to understand

If you're leading the life of a music man

You've got to walk around and reel around and rock around the whole round town

Walk around, talk around the whole round town

Go rolling and a-rocking out the whole round town

Till the morning takes you home

Till the morning takes you home



?This is? alright, go out all night

?This is? alright, go out all night

I tell you there's been no romancing

There's been no fancypantsing

There's been life-enhancing, take-a-chancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
