Standard (EADGBE)
They put a parking lot on a piece of land
Where the supermarket used to st and.
Before that they put up a bowl ing alley
On the site that used to be the loc al pally.
That's where the big bands us ed to come and play.
My sister went there on a Saturday.
Chorus
Come dancing,
All her boyfriends used to come and call.
Why not come dancing? it's only n atural
Riff
Another Saturday, another date.
She would be ready but she's always make them wait.
In the hallway, in anticipation,
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.
Chorus
Come dancing,
That's how they did it when I was just a kid,
And when they said come dancing,
My sister always did.
Riff
My sister should have come in at mid night,
And my mom would always sit up and wait.
It always ended up in a big row
When my sister used to get home l ate.
This part is like the into:
(spoken) Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight,
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate. (Mom yel ls at them...)
The day they knocked down the pally
My sister stood and cried.
The day they knocked down th e pally
Part of my childhood died, just died.
repeat intro:
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,
And there's a car park where the pally used to stand.
My sister's married and she lives on an estate.
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait.
She knows they get away with things she never could,
But if I asked her I wonder if she would,
Chorus
Come dancing,
Come on sister, have yourself a ball.
Don't be afraid to come dancing,
It's only natural.
The last chorus leads to a key change....
Come danc ing,
Just like the pally o n a Saturday.
And all her friends will come dancing
Where the big bands used to play.
Hold the Em for two measures, then modulate to the key of Eb. This is the
same riff as before, played in Eb. Perhaps someone out there can write the
notes for the finale...
