Well I’ve been dancing all my life, as long as I remember
My Mum would teach us one by one
To learn to dance together

Well we got no pay and we got no job and we got no money in the bank
But Friday night at the stroke of nine we’d all head to the dance

With a one pound note that I got from me Mother
Chattin’ up one girl and eyin’ up the other
Talkin’ about nothing but the change in the weather
Friday at the dance

With the boys on the left and the girls on the right
And Mum there in the middle
She asked us if we had no drink and to swear it on the bible

We’d stay all night till the cows come home given half a chance
Nothing could compare with the people there, Friday at the dance

With a one pound note that I got from me Mother
Chattin’ up one girl and eyin’ up the other
Talkin’ about nothing but the change in the weather
Friday at the dance

Well how the time it passes by from one day to the other
If I’d the chance to do the same
I’d do the same all over

Well we got no gold and we got no boat and we got no villa in France
But Friday night at the stroke of nine we all head to the dance

With a one pound note that I got from me Mother
Chattin’ up one girl and eyin’ up the other
Talkin’ about nothing but the change in the weather
Friday at the dance

With a one pound note that I got from me Mother
Chattin’ up one girl and eyin’ up the other
Talkin’ about nothing but the change in the weather
Friday at the dance
