Lyrics

(THE WORLD GOES ROUND)THE DANCE WAS SQUARE

FATHER
This here plot is your garden son Everything you need for both food and fun
I’ll give you a mate so you both can share
And the world goes round and your garden’s square

Bow to you partner and you know he did But that corner gal that serpent said
Is the apple of my eye now don’t be scared
And the world went round and the dance was square


CHORUS
And the dance was square and the dance was square Easy mark for the unprepared
What’s a dad to do but to wonder where The world goes round and the dance was square

Men to the center tend your flock Some had favor some did not
So they went back home taking their gals there
And the world went round and the dance was square

Well it didn’t take long for love’s do si do To disappear from each heart and sould
Rebellion reigned it’s like no one cared
And the world went round and the dance was square


CHORUS
And the dance was square and the dance was square Selfish pride foolish flare
What’s a dad to do with the will of heirs The world goes round and the dance was square


Bow to the ladies bow to the gents Let’s see if we can make some sense
I’m a patient dad oh yes I can wait
Everybody promenade


Allemande left allemande right Your view is limited by your sight
It’s a good thing kids when you do si do
I’ll be here when you get back home


CHORUS
And the dance was square and the dance was square May take time but you’ll get there
I know every heart counted every hair The world goes round and the dance was square


It’s a simple tale of a loving dad Who gave his kids the best he had
Some didn’t notice some didn’t care
And the world goes round and the dance is square
And the world goes round and the dance is square
