Nancy is the only girl that I have ever loved
I see her every morning when the sun comes risin' up
And if I had the courage to, I'd come to her and say
"Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day?
Will we dance all the diddley ay-den day?"
Nancy makes her way to work, a-smiling, bright and fair
She opens up the general shop with flowers in her hair
And as I walk the room behind her, I whisper, and I pray
"Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day?
Will we dance all the diddley ay-den day?"
A hand upon the handle, and I'm standin' in the store
Her sweet hello gets me to glow just like it's done before
But I can feel me cheeks are rosy, I'm too red to relay
"Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day?
Will we dance all the diddley ay-den day?"
I wander, and I wonder if I'm ever gonna get
The grit to court a girl like this, I haven't found it yet
And I mumble as I stumble, and Friday starts to fade
Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day?
Will we dance all the diddley ay-den day?
Now the light is fadin', and she's closin', closin' time
The sun is done, the dusk is on, and I'm wishin' upon high
That the man in the moon would wink and make the words all come me way
"Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day?
Will we dance all the diddley ay-den day?"
Nancy's walkin' my way with the evening in her eyes
As I step out, without a doubt, she slows and breaks her stride
Is she waitin' like I'm wantin' for a humbly whispered, "Hey
Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day?
Will we dance all the diddley ay-den day?"
Now the Legion's loadin' up as fast as Friday night
The band is on the stand, and Nancy's hand is holdin' mine
I'm glad her head is on my shoulder, and I got the guts to say
"Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day?
Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day?
Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day?
Will you dance all the diddley ay-den day?"
