Verse:
F They put a parking lot on a piece of C land
Where the supermarket used to F stand
Before that they put up a bowling al C ley
On the site that used to be the local pal F ais
Bb That’s where the big bands F used to come and play
C My sister went there F on a Saturday
Chorus:
Come Bb dancing
All her boyfriends F used to come and call
Why not come C dancing? it’s Bb only natural
Riff:

Verse:
F Another Saturday another C date
She would be ready but she’s always make them F wait
In the hallway in antici C pation
He didn’t know the night would end up in frus F tration
Bb He’d end up blowing all his F wages for the week
C All for a cuddle and a F peck on the cheek
Chorus:
Come Bb dancing
That’s how they did it when F I was just a kid
And when they said come C dancing
My Bb sister always did
Riff:
F | F | C | F | X 2
My Dm sister should have C come in at Bb midnight
And my Dm mom would always C sit up and Bb wait
It Dm always ended C up in a big Bb row
When my Dm sister used to C get home Bb late

Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate [Mom yells at them]

The Dm day they C knocked down the Bb palais
My Dm sister C stood and Bb cried
Dm The day they C knocked down the Bb palais

Verse:
F Now I’m grown up and playing in a C band
And there’s a car park where the palais used to F stand
My sister’s married and she lives on an es- C -tate
Her daughters go out now it’s her turn to F wait
Bb She knows they get away with F things she never could
C But if I asked her I F wonder if she would
Chorus:
Come Bb dancing
Come on sister F have yourself a ball
Don’t be afraid to come C dancing
It’s Bb only natural
Riff:

Just like the palais F on a Saturday
And all friends would come C dancing
while the Bb big band used to play
