歌曲歌詞
When you're ready or steady to go dancin' romancin'
Grab your sweetheart and jump in your car
Drive right on down to the bright side of town
You'll be glad you don't have to drive far
You'll be happy you don't have to go far
Park your pick-ups and Cadillacs Fords and Renaults
Get out and dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
Grand mammy grand pappy if you wanna stay happy
Better lace up your best dancin' shoes
Come see us don't write us you can stop your arthritis
Just by dancin' away your blues
Now just by dancin' away your blues
So bind up your bunions with band-aids and gauze
And come dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
I met a fine banker and I'd sure like to thank him
For the credit he gave me made me shout
He changed my whole attitude and to show him a my gratitude
I decided I'd just ask him out
Yes I thought I just might ask him out
I said close up your windows and lock up your vaults
And lets go dance like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
We spent the next to last dollar at the old ice cream parlor
On a milkshake and a malt and a pop
And then we heard us some sounds was a honky tonk lounge
Next door to the ice cream shop
Next door to the ice cream shop
Now only two things are better than milkshakes and malts
One is dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
And the other is somethin' but really it's nothin'
To speak of it's somethin' to do and if you've done it before
You'll be doin' it some more
Just as soon as the dancin' is through
Right after the dancin' is through
And if anybody asks you why just tell 'em because
You been dancin' like the dickens to the West Texas Waltz
