Well, I used to smile when I was a pup,
B
sailing down the Nile in a china cup
E
with the recipe for a lovely day,
B
sticking out of my back pocket.

But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
G#m
we used to fight like cats and dogs
EB
till we made it up in the ballroom.
BE
Ballroom dancing made a man of me.

BE
Ballroom dancing, seen it on T.V.

Well, I used to fly when I was a kid
B
and I didn’t cry if it hurt a bit.
E
On a carpet ride to foreign land
E
at the time of Davy Crokett.

But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
G#m
‘cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
EB
till we made it up in the ballroom.
BE
Ballroom dancing made a man of me.

One, two, three, four, I just plain adore you.

Well, the kids have flown to a better life.

Now the boy’s a man and the girl’s his wife.

And the summertime never seems to last
E
when you’re riding on a rocket.

But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight,
