My name is Mary and I'm from Greenville, Mississippi    But this is where I live here in this old folks' dormitory    Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us    And she plays that old upright    But Sarah always seems to leave us       When she plays something comes over me    Goes from my head all the way to my feet       And I wanna dance    I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance    I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance    All night, I wanna dance    I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance    I wanna listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears    And one day I'm gonna dance my way right outta here       I had three girls and a boy but now one's gone up to Heaven    She's with her papa now 'cause he left for lack of penicillin    The older that I get I figure everyone is dying    They're all dying for a change    I know I'm dying for some action       But days like these Sunday seems so far away    So until then I'm gonna sit right here and here I�ll stay       I wanna dance    I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance    I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance    All night, I wanna dance    I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance    I wanna listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears    And one day I'm gonna dance my way right outta here       I'd marry you, if you could dance, that's what I said    'Cause where I'm going there'll be dancing everyday
