They put a parking lot on a piece of land

Where the supermarket used to stand.

Before that they put up a bowling alley

On the site that used to be the local pally.

C G

That's where the big bands used to come and play.

D G C

My sister went there on a Saturday, come dancing,

G

All her boyfriends used to come and call.

D C G

Why not come dancing? it's only natural Riff

G D

Another Saturday, another date.

G

She would be ready but she's always make them wait.

D

In the hallway, in anticipation,

G

He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.

C G

He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week

D G C

All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek, come dancing,

G

That's how they did it when I was just a kid,

D C G

And when they said come dancing, my sister always did. Riff x 2

Em D C

My sister should have come in at midnight,

Em D C

And my mom would always sit up and wait.

Em D C

It always ended up in a big row

Em D C

When my sister used to get home late.

G D D G

(spoken) Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight,

(sung) Oooooooo, oooooooo….

G G D D G

Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate. (Mom yells at them...)

Em D C

The day they knocked down the pally

Em D C

My sister stood and cried.

Em D C

The day they knocked down the pally

Em D C

Part of my childhood died, just died.

Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,

G

And there's a car park where the pally used to stand.

My sister's married and she lives on an estate.

G

Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait.

C G

She knows they get away with things she never could,

D G C

But if I asked her I wonder if she would, come dancing

G

Come on sister, have yourself a ball.

D

Don't be afraid to come dancing,

C G

It's only natural. Riff x 2

Come dancing,

C G

Just like the pally on a Saturday.

And all her friends will come dancing

C Em

Where the big bands used to play.
