The school Christmas party is coming
We ain't doing rugby no more
McIntyres teaching us waltzing
Out on the gymnasium floor
Out on the gymnasium floor
McIntyre's out of the army
Youll be slipperd if you get it wrong
McIntyre's din looms loud in the gym
And we've only got a little short song
We've only got a little short song
And it's one two three two two we're all a disgrace
McIntyre tore us apart
And we dance with ourselves when wed all found a space
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
Comes the day of the final manoeuvres
All of our heads are a whirl
Its getting much closer to D-Day
This time we're gonna do it with girls
This time we're gonna do it with girls
In the arena the ladies were waiting
A twelve year old partner to guide
Some matches were fixed
The rest of us mixed
And a fat girl got left at the side
The fat girl got left at the side
And it's one two three two two we're all a disgrace
McIntyre tore us apart
And we dance with ourselves when wed all found a space
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
When you come to my fights and Im under the lights
And you see that my footwork is false
Don't count me out at the start of the bout
I'm just doing secondary waltz
Doing the secondary waltz
(same as intro) 3X
Then , , and , , (as first couplet at the end)
