VERSE 1:
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

BRIDGE 1:
when she plays something comes over me
from my head all the way to my feet

CHORUS:
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 right outta here

VERSE 2:
had three girls and a boy but now one’s gone up to heaven
she’s with her poppa now and he left for lack of penicillin
but the older that i get i figure everyone is dying
dying for a change and i know i’m dying for some action

BRIDGE 2:
and days like these sunday seems so far away
so until then i’ll sit right here and here i’ll stay

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL (HALF-CHORUS)

BRIDGE 3:
i’d marry you if you could dance that’s what i said
‘cause where i’m going there will be dancing every day

REPEAT CHORUS
