They put a parking lot on a piece of land
Where the supermarket used to stand
Before that, they put up a bowling alley
On the site that used to be the local palais
Thatโs where the big bands used to come and play
My sister went there on a Saturday
Come dancing All her boyfriends used to come and call
Why not come dancing
Itโs only natural
ย
Another Saturday, another date
She would be ready but she'd always make them wait
In the hallway, in anticipation
He didnโt know the night would end up in frustration
Heโd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
Come dancing Thatโs how they did it when I was just a kid
And when they said come dancing
My sister always did
ย
My sister should have come in at midnight
And my mom would always sit up and wait
It always ended up in a big row
When my sister used to get home late
Out of my window, I can see them
Two silhouettes saying goodnight
In the moonlight by the garden gate
The day they knocked down the palais My sister stood and cried
The day they knocked down the palais Part of my childhood died, just died
ย
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band
And thereโs a car park where the palais used to stand
My sisterโs married and she lives on an estate
Her daughters go out, now itโs her turn to wait
She knows they get away with things she never could
But if I asked her, I wonder if she would
Come dancing Come on, sister, have yourself a ball
Donโt be afraid to come dancing Itโs only natural
