[Verse 1] Well, I used to smile when I was a pup Sailing down the Nile in a china cup With the recipe for a lovely day Sticking out of my back pocket [Pre-Chorus] But it wasn't always such a pretty sight 'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs Then we made it up in the ballroom [Chorus] Ballroom dancing made a man of me One, two, three, four I just plain adore your ballroom dancing Seen it on TV I got what I got from ballroom dancing Big B.D. [Verse 2] Well, I used to fly when I was a kid And I didn't cry if it hurt a bit On a carpet ride to a foreign land At the time of Davy Crockett [Pre-Chorus] But it wasn't always such a pretty sight 'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs Till we made it up in the ballroom [Chorus] Ballroom dancing made a man of me One, two, three, four I just plain adore your ballroom dancing Seen it on TV I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing Big B.D. [Skit] ... I can tell you the band is ready. We're starting with the first of five dancers in this competition: that's the cha-cha-cha! [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Well, it went so fast and we all grew up Now the days that passed in the china cup Are the memories of another day And I wouldn't want to knock it [Pre-Chorus] But it wasn't always such a pretty sight 'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs Then we made it up in the ballroom [Chorus] Ballroom dancing made a man of me One, two, three, four I just plain adore your ballroom dancing Seen it on TV I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing Big B.D. Oh!
