Lyrics to Come Dancing by The Kinks
- They put a parking lot on a piece of land
- When the supermarket used to stand.
- Before that they put up a bowling alley
- On the site that used to be the local palais.
- That's where the big bands used to come and play.
- My sister went there on a Saturday.
- Come dancing,
- All her boyfriends used to come and call.
- Why not come dancing, it's only natural?
- Another Saturday, another date.
- She would be ready but she's always make him wait.
- In the hallway, in anticipation,
- He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
- He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
- All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.
- Come dancing,
- That's how they did it when I was just a kid,
- And when they said come dancing,
- My sister always did.
- My sister should have come in at midnight,
- And my mum would always sit up and wait.
- It always ended up in a big row
- When my sister used to get home late.
- Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight,
- Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate.
- The day they knocked down the palais
- My sister stood and cried.
- The day they knocked down the palais
- Part of my childhood died, just died.
- Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,
- And there's a car park where the palais used to stand.
- My sister's married and she lives on an estate.
- Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait.
- She knows they get away with things she never could,
- But if I asked her I wonder if she would,
- Come dancing,
- Come on sister, have yourself a ball.
- Don't be afraid to come dancing,
- It's only natural.
- Come dancing,
- Just like the palais on a Saturday.
- And all her friends will come dancing
- Where the big bands used to play.
