Richard Thompson - Will You Dance, Charlie Boy lyrics

rate me

Will you dance, Charlie boy, will you dance?

Will you dance, Charlie boy, will you dance?

Through the sequins are worn and tattered and torn

And the seat is right out of your pants.

Will you dance, Charlie boy, will you dance?

Will you dance, Charlie boy, will you dance?

One more time, Charlie boy with your own pride and joy

Will you dance, Charlie boy, will you dance?

Oh you're still pretty fast on your feet

Yes, you're still pretty fast on your feet

Though the years have gone by

And the tank's running dry

You're still pretty fast on your feet

Will you dance to the tune that they play

Will you dance to the tune that they play

Will you play the old game of fortune and fame

And grin as you sign your life away.

Is there life in the old doggy yet?

Is there life in the old doggy yet?

Will you stand on your mark

On your hind legs and bark

Somebody's dear little pet!

Will you dance, Charlie boy, will you dance?

Will you dance, Charlie boy, will you dance?

Will you be a good whore, for the people once more

Will you dance, Charlie boy, will you dance? (x2)
