Dancing Girls

King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson

I'd trade my life for a different scene

An old milk cow for some magic beans

What would i give? what would i trade?

It's a question of passion -that it is.

I love you girl or excuse me, miss

Did i get by or make the grade?



Bye-bye to the dancing girls

Bye-bye . so long.



He was eleven and she only twelve

Just old enough to dress themselves

Was i just too dumb to see?

They met at the fair under autumn's spell

After casting each a penny in a wishing well

But, it's too late she's history



Bye-bye to the dancing girls

Bye-bye . so long.



Everytime i see your face i fall in love again

I've got to stop throwing it all away

-all away



Read my book. pick your page.

Hire the band and set the stage because

Everything is holding tight

Everything is feeling right

And i'll say



Bye-bye to the dancing girls

Bye-bye . so long.
