Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Ballroom decked in green and blue
Nylon socks and polished shoes
And every gal is dancing with a fella
The sky was black, the city was bright
But someone here's gonna start a fight
The moon was a tapioca yellow
Elbow deep in satin gloves
Someone here will fall in love
And someone else will have too much to drink
Cocaine packed up in his nose
Some came to dance, some came to blows
When someone here will wake up in the clink
The barkeep grabbed the first unruly fella
With a sturdy rap across the patron's face
Tossed him right into a row of cellos
The song was ruined but the band kept playing
Look out, here it comes
A ballroom fight with kettledrums
And champagne glasses hurling into space
Someone please responsible
Call the local constable
Before they ruin what's left of this place
ย
By the time the brace of cops arrived
The party was dead but the room's alive
With fisticuffs, profanity and screams
Some called for help, some called for cabs
Some called for drinks, some called their dads
And the bandstand had been smashed to smithereens
Sorry love, just don't know what to tell ya
But I must admit I had a smashing time
Perhaps we can just try again tomorrow
And I promise I'll take you somewhere quiet
Look out, here it comes
A ballroom fight with kettledrums
And champagne glasses hurling into space
Someone please responsible
Call the local constable
Before they ruin what's left of this place
