Rob - Sep 1978
 
In the mid 30s when people still cared
Money was scarce then but dancing was still there
Down to the dance hall every saturday night
Mom took the street car
Dad had to walk there

How they both got there it never much mattered
As long as they were there by quarter to eight

CHORUS
Dance hall music has a special place in my life
Turn the lights way down and hold your lady so tight

When you first get there your dancin the charleston
By the end of the evening
You tenderly kiss her

Walkin hand in hand with a full moon on the rise
Back at her place
you sit on the porch swing

Gaze at the night sky
The stars seem so low

Seems you could pluck those diamonds right out of the sky
