Well I've been dancing all my life as long as I remember
My mom would teach us one by one to learn to dance together
Well we got no pay and we got no job and we got no money in the bank
But Friday night at the stroke of nine we'd all head to the dance

With a 1 pound note that I got from my mother and chatting up one girl, I love the other
Talking about nothing but the change in the weather, Friday at the dance

With the boys on the left and the girls on the right
And mom there in the middle
She asked us if we had no drink and swear it on the Bible
We stayed all night 'till the cows came home given half the chance
Nothing could compare with the people there, Friday at the dance

With a 1 pound note that I got from my mother and chatting up one girl, I love the other
Talking about nothing but the change in the weather, Friday at the dance

Well how the time it passes by from one day to another
If I'd the chance to start again I'd do the same all over
Well we got no gold and we got no boat and we got no villa in France
But Friday night at the stroke of nine we still head to the dance

With a 1 pound note that I got from my mother and chatting up one girl, I love the other
Talking about nothing but the change in the weather, Friday at the dance

With a 1 pound note that I got from my mother and chatting up one girl, I love the other
Talking about nothing but the change in the weather, Friday at the dance
