Dancing
Lexy & K. Paul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sailing down the Nile in china cup
With the recipe for a lovely day
Sticking out my back pocket
But it wasn't always such a pretty sight
'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
Till me made it up in the ballroom
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.
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
But it wasn't always such a pretty sight
'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs
Till me made it up in the ballroom
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.
Well went so fast and we all grew up
Now the days have passed in the china cup
Are the memories of another day
And I wouldn't want to knock it
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
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.
The song "Dancing" by Lexy & K. Paul is a nostalgic trip down memory lane about growing up and learning the valuable lessons of love and life through ballroom dancing. The opening lyrics talk about the singer's childhood, when everything was uncomplicated and he had a recipe for a lovely day. He reminisces about sailing down the Nile in a china cup and carrying the recipe for a perfect day in his back pocket. While everything seemed picture-perfect, life was not always such a pretty sight. The singer and his partner used to fight like cats and dogs, but ballroom dancing helped them reconcile and make up.
The chorus of the song talks about how ballroom dancing made a man out of him. He adores ballroom dancing and has learned quite a bit from it. The singer has been inspired by ballroom dancing since he first saw it on TV, and now he has become quite skilled at it- Big B.D. is a reference to his proficiency.
The second verse describes the singer's childhood experience of flying, the thrill of adventure, and the pain that comes with it. While he has grown up, the memories of his past remain with him. The song alludes to the fact that the singer has gone through hardships in life, but ballroom dancing has helped him get through them.
In summary, the song is about the power of ballroom dancing to bring people together and help them find common ground. While the singer has gone through the ups and downs of life, ballroom dancing has been a constant, source of joy, and a valuable life lesson.

Well I used to fly when I was a kid
When I was young, I used to have flights of fancy and dream of flying
And I didn't cry if it hurt a bit
I was tough and didn't show my emotions, even if I was hurt
On a carpet ride to a foreign land
I imagined flying on a magic carpet to a far-off place
At the time of Davy Crockett
This happened a long time ago, during the era of Davy Crockett
Well went so fast and we all grew up
Time passed so quickly and we all grew older
Now the days have passed in the china cup
Those days are now just memories, like a china cup left to collect dust
Are the memories of another day
Those memories are from a different time
And I wouldn't want to knock it
I don't want to criticize or belittle it
I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing
I gained many valuable things from ballroom dancing
Big b.d.
Abbreviation for 'big ballroom dancing'
