Lyrics
The Stardust Ballroom, we sought romance
We just played air guitar, we did not dance
We did not tango, we did not twist
We did the limbo, we did not kiss
(Chorus)
Would you take me out dancing
Won't you hold me with feeling
And watch the notes from the bandstand float
To the Stardust ceiling
Would you hold me real close she said
Don't you have that feeling
I just feel lost, like the stars across
The Stardust ceiling
Ginger or Maryanne, how long we waited
They were too mysterious, too sophisticated
We were invited, we had our chance
Someone decided we did not dance
To take them out dancing ...
Where have those boys gone who knew no fear
They're home watching Jeopardy, they're home drinking beer
Where are the kisses from damsels fair
They're somebody's missus with frosted hair
Would you take me out dancing ...
Where is the tenderness that felt so right
Time just goes on I guess down to bowlin' night
But I'll find some buddies there, we'll have some laughs
About our missing hair; our better halves
Would you take me out dancing ...
