Amazing Blondel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chorus Dance all sundry dance
Spare your children a glance
Praise romance
And dance all sundry dance
Sing all sundry sing
Take your partner and cling
And sing all sundry sing
Soft sulky lady
You pick up your face
And come on to me here
Why think at your age
That you're not a prize
I promise you are dear
You come with me
On to the Festival
We will have us one hell of a time.
Chorus
If you're not sure
On the flattering side
Of the pose that you're taking
I'll put you right
On the faltering verse
Of a song in the making
You come with me
On to the Festival
We will have us, one hell of a time
