Dance A Little Longer Songtext

von Woody Guthrie

Eats an? drinks an? smokes are gone,
Ice on th'steps an? you cain't git home;
Hang y?r things on th? peg in th? corner;
Giggle an? wiggle an? dance a little longer.

Dance aroun?, dance a little longer,
Just gotta hold you just a little longer;
Bing an? talk, joke a little longer;
Just gotta hold you justa little longer.

Rained three days an? th? barditch full;
I cain't git home, it'sa muddy old pull;
I live on toppa that bad hill yonder
That's why I gotta dance a little longer.

Tonight's th? night that th? muddy flood come,
Took my house and it tooken my barn;
Drowned my goose an? drowned my gander,
That's why I gotta dance a little longer.

Lightnin? sat my place onne fire
Thunder shook down my floorin? boards;
Wild wind come along end it stole my lumber;
That's why I gotta dance a little longer.

I tied my ship to a downtock dock
Tidal wave run in an? give it a knock;
It wrecked my boat an? shivvered my timbers;
That's why I gotta dance a little longer.

I tied my bicycle up to a post
An? it got stole by a graveyard ghost;
He wont bring it back till you kiss my stronger;
That's why I gotta dance a little longer.

I hadda date tonight witha gal down th? road,
Told ?er I'd stop off an? dump my load;
She's pretty pretty, but you're lots perttyooee;
That's why I gotta dance a little longer.
