From the recording Allons Danser
Lyrics
ALLONS DANSER
By WD Picou
It's late at night
and our sorrows are drowned
All is quiet
round the old hometown
The lines that form
in the morning light
Are out of mind
Now that they're out of sight
Worries are forgotten
Trouble's all gone
Let's put off till tomorrow
While the band plays on
CHORUS:
Allons danser allons danser
Yippee yippee ti yo
Yippee yippee ti yay
Looking at the world
through eyes of glass
Laughing at the world
While it all goes past
Now the drawn curtain
hides the pouring rain
and the child's face
pressed against the window pane
The dancers spin
round the middle of the floor
They close their eyes
As the band plays more
CHORUS
It's late at night
sorrows are drowned
All is quiet
Round the old hometown
Them safe behind
their castle walls
Thinking safe from the fate
that awaits us all
Them looking at the world
through eyes of glass
Them laughing at the world
as it all goes past
But now the drawn curtains
hide the pouring rain
And the child's face
pressed against the window pane
The lines that form
in the morning light
Are out of mind
Now that they're out of sight
Worries are forgotten
Trouble's all gone
Let's put off till tomorrow
While the band plays on
CHORUS
