Intro

The school Christmas party is coming

 We ain't doing rugby no more

McIntyre’s teaching us waltzing

 Out on the gymnasium floor

Out on the gymnasium floor

McIntyre's out of the army

 You’ll be slipper’d if you get it wrong

McIntyre's din looms loud in the gym

 And we've only got a little short song

 We've only got a little short song

 And it's one two three two two we're all a disgrace

 McIntyre tore us apart

 And we dance with ourselves when we’d all found a space

Waltzing with fear in our hearts

Waltzing with fear in our hearts

Comes the day of the final manoeuvres

All of our heads are a whirl

It’s getting much closer to D-Day

This time we're gonna do it with girls

This time we're gonna do it with girls

In the arena the ladies were waiting

A twelve year old partner to guide

Some matches were fixed

The rest of us mixed

And a fat girl got left at the side

The fat girl got left at the side

 And it's one two three two two we're all a disgrace

 McIntyre tore us apart

 And we dance with ourselves when we’d all found a space

Waltzing with fear in our hearts

Waltzing with fear in our hearts

 When you come to my fights and I’m under the lights

And you see that my footwork is false

 Don't count me out at the start of the bout

 I'm just doing secondary waltz

Doing the secondary waltz
