Take your baby by the hand

And make her do a high handstand

And take your baby by the heel

And do the next thing that you feel



We were so in vies

In our dance hall days

We were cool on cries

When all you and everyone we knew

Could believe, do, and share in what was true



Dance hall days love !



Take your baby by the hair

And pull her close and there, there, there

And take your baby by the ears

And play upon her darkest fears



We were so in vies

In our dance hall days

We were cool on cries

When all you and everyone we knew

Could believe, do, and share in what was true



Dance hall days love

Dance hall days

Dance hall days love



Take your baby by the wrist

And in her mouth an amethyst

And in her eyes two sapphires blue

And you need her and she needs you

And you need her and she needs you

And you need her and she needs you

And you need her and she needs you

And you need her and she needs you



We were so in vies

In our dance hall days

We were cool on cries

When all you and everyone we knew

Could believe, do, and share in what was true



Dance hall days love

Dance hall days love

Dance hall days

Dance hall days love

Dance hall days

Dance hall days love

Dance hall days

Dance hall days love...
