xIntro: D Bm G A, D Bm G A G D D Bm The first of the month Brings back the notion G A Of a big round white dance hall and a cool summer night D Bm Red cherry faces set black shoes in motion G A To the oom pa pa rhythm of a German delight Chorus: Bm A And I tried hard to tell you I was no kinda dancer Bm G 'Took my hand to prove I was wrong D Bm You guided me gently Though I thought I could never G A G D 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 mirror Cast shiny reflections on a brass slide trombone Chorus 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 Chorus x2
