dorothy loudon - ballroom: a terrific band and a real nice crowd lyrics

[bea]
“there’s a terrific band and a real nice crowd”
that’s what angie said
never will understand
with a whole evening planned
how i got here instead!

i defrosted a lamb chop
and was going to watch a movie on tv
now i’m standing under a neon sign
watching it shine on me!

“there’s a terrific band and a real nice crowd”
and it’ll do me good to get out
it isn’t a singles bar — it’s only a ballroom!
so what am i so nervous about?

what if no one asks me to dance?
what if someone asks me to dance?
what if i catch the next bus?

but angie says there’s a real nice crowd
and that band sure knows how to play
i’ll just go in and see what it’s like
i don’t have to stay
maybe it wouldn’t be so bad
if i had someone to walk in with
maury, if you were here…
but then, maury, if you were here
i wouldn’t be here to begin with!

is it a club for boozers, a haven for losers
who come to escape the truth
one of those places
with painted party faces
full of middle+aged people reliving their youth?

maybe it’s more like a party
with colored lights circling the floor
where everything’s pretty
and you dance and dream
and you check your coat and cares at the door

“there’s a terrific band and a real nice crowd”
that’s what angie said
part of me says: “go home”
but there’s another part saying, “go ahead”
since they’re both saying, “make your mind up!”
whaddaya think, twinkle toes?
a little more lipstick — and maybe some rouge
here goes!
what have you got to lose?
only a night + who cares?
that isn’t the matterh+rn
it’s only a flight of stairs
why don’t you try it?
you might even like it…?
who knows?
