Verse 1
Well, I used to smile when I was a pup
Sailing down the Nile in a china cup
With the recipe for a lovely day
Sticking out of my back pocket
Bridge
But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight
We used to fight like cats and dogs
till we made it up in the ballroom
Chorus
A A/F# A/E A D | D D/F# G |
Ballroom dan-cing made a man of me
One, two, three, four, I just plain adore your

Ballroom dancing, seen it on T.V

I got what I got from ballroom dancing big B.D
Verse 2
Well, I used to fly when I was a kid
And I didn’t cry if it hurt a bit
On a carpet ride to foreign land
At the time of Davy Crockett
Bridge
But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight
‘Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
Till we made it up in the ballroom

Verse 3
Well it 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
Bridge
But it wasn’t always such a pretty sight
‘Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
Till we made it up in the ballroom
