Well I used to smile when I was a pup
Sailing down the Nile in china cup
With the recipe for a lovely day
Sticking out my back pocket

But it wasn't always such a pretty sight
Because we used to fight like cats and dogs
Till me made it up in the ballroom

[Chorus]
Ballroom dancing made a man of me
One, two, three, four
I just plain adore your
Ballroom dancing, seen it on TV
I got what I got from ballroom dancing
Big b.d.

Well I used to fly when I was a kid
And I didn't cry if it hurt a bit
An a carpet ride to a foreign land
At the time of Davy Crockett

But it wasn't always such a pretty sight
Because we used to fight like cats and dogs
Till me made it up in the ballroom

[Chorus]

Well went so fast and we all grew up
Now the days that passed in the china cup
Are the memories of another day
And I wouldn't want to knock it

But it wasn't always such a pretty sight
Because we used to fight like cats and dogs
Till me made it up in the ballroom

[Chorus]
