Millie, there's a dance in town
Put your broom and dustpan down
I'll go out and fetch the old grey mare
And, Millie, there's a dance in town
A do-si-do and dance in town
All your friends and kinfolk will be there
And, Millie, there's a moon tonight
A golden, burning moon tonight
So go put on your fancy gingham dress
Millie, it's a dancing night
A balmy, warm romance tonight
So you get ready and I'll do all the rest
See the way the clouds roll by
See the way the night bird flies
Watch the way the old horse makes her way
There beside the laughing brook
Here upon the bridge where once
You took my hand and stole my breath away
And listen to the crickets talking
See the way the pine trees
Slowly rock their heads
And whisper out our name
Millie, there's a dance in town
You're lovely in your cotton gown
And my heart is flickering like a candle flame
Millie, there's a dance in town
A do-si-do and dance in town
We got the night and a lifetime to share
And when we sashay through the door
Step up on the old dance floor
All the heads in town will stop and stare
Millie, there's a dance in town
Put your broom and dustpan down
I'll go out and fetch the old grey mare
Millie, there's a moon tonight
A golden, burning moon tonight
And it puts a silver ribbon in your hair
