robert earl keen – no kinda dancer lyrics
the first of the month
brings back the notion
of a big round white dance hall
and a cool summer night
red cherry faces set black shoes in motion
to the oom pa pa rythym of a german delight
and i tried hard to tell you i was no kinda dancer
‘took my hand to prove i was wrong
you guided me gently
though i thought i could never
we were dancing together at the end of the song
a taught little bald man
like a german war hero
with buxom matrons to a quick john paul jones
drapes of crepe paper
a ball made of mirrors
cast shiny reflections on a br-ss slide trombone
and i tried hard to tell you i was no kinda dancer
‘took my hand to prove i was wrong
you guided me gently
though i thought i could never
we were dancing together at the end of the song
a man was still dancing
with his phantom partner
though the band had quit playing
at the evening’s end
and it made me feel lucky that i had a partner
to teach me the dance steps
and come back again
and i tried hard to tell you i was no kinda dancer
‘took my hand to prove i was wrong
you guided me gently
though i thought i could never
we were dancing together at the end of the song
and i tried hard to tell you…
‘took my hand to prove i was wrong
you guided me gently
though i thought i could never
we were dancing together at the end of the song
