Eats an' drinks an' smokes are gone,   Ice on th'steps an' you cain't git home;   Hang y'r things on th' peg in th' corner;   Giggle an' wiggle an' dance a little longer.      Dance aroun', dance a little longer,   Just gotta hold you just a little longer;   Bing an' talk, joke a little longer;   Just gotta hold you justa little longer.      Rained three days an' th' barditch full;   I cain't git home, it'sa muddy old pull;   I live on toppa that bad hill yonder   That's why I gotta dance a little longer.      Tonight's th' night that th' muddy flood come,   Took my house and it tooken my barn;   Drowned my goose an' drowned my gander,   That's why I gotta dance a little longer.      Lightnin' sat my place onne fire   Thunder shook down my floorin' boards;   Wild wind come along end it stole my lumber;   That's why I gotta dance a little longer.      I tied my ship to a downtock dock   Tidal wave run in an' give it a knock;   It wrecked my boat an' shivvered my timbers;   That's why I gotta dance a little longer.      I tied my bicycle up to a post   An' it got stole by a graveyard ghost;   He wont bring it back till you kiss my stronger;   That's why I gotta dance a little longer.      I hadda date tonight witha gal down th' road,   Told 'er I'd stop off an' dump my load;   She's pretty pretty, but you're lots perttyooee;   That's why I gotta dance a little longer.
