[Verse 1]
G

They put a parking lot on a piece of land
D                             G

Where the supermarket used to stand.
G

Before that they put up a bowling alley
D                                     G

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

My sister went there on a Saturday.


[Chorus]
     C

Come dancing,
                   G

All her boyfriends used to come and call.
             D              C    G

Why not come dancing? It's only natural
 

[Riff x2]

[Verse 2]
G

Another Saturday, another date.
D                                            G

She would be ready but she'd always make him wait.
G

In the hallway, in anticipation,
D                                            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

All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.


[Chorus]
     C

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.

[Bridge]
Em                   D              C

My sister should have come in at midnight,
Em                  D              C

And my mum 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.
 

[Interlude]
 G                          D

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

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


[Bridge]

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.

[Verse 3]
G

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

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

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

But if I asked her I wonder if she would,


[Chorus]
     C

Come dancing,
                G

Come on sister, have yourself a ball.
                        D              C     G

Don't be afraid to come dancing, it's only natural.

[Chorus]
     C

Come dancing,
                     G

Just like the pally on a Saturday.
                              D

And all her friends will come dancing
          C                 Em

Where the big bands used to play.
