Intro: C Am F G, C Am F G F C
CThe first of the month AmBrings back the notion FOf a big round white dance hall and a cool summer Gnight
CRed cherry faces Amset black shoes in motion FTo the oom pa pa rhythm of a German Gdelight
Chorus:
AmAnd I tried hard to tell you GI was no kinda dancer Am'Took my hand to Fprove I was wrong
CYou guided me gently AmThough I thought I could never FWe were dancing Gtogether at the Fend of the Csong
A taught little bald man Like a German war hero With buxom matrons to a quick John Paul Jones Drapes of crepe paper A ball made of mirror Cast shiny reflections on a brass slide trombone Chorus A man was still dancing With his phantom partner Though the band had quit playing At the evening's end And it made me feel lucky that I had a partner to teach me the dance steps And come back again Chorus x2
