INTRO

Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high handstand
and take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel

CHORUS

We were so in phase
In our Dance Hall Days
We were cool on craze
When I, you and everyone we knew
Could believed, do, and share in what was true

Dance Hall days love

VERSE 2
Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there there there
And take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears

CHORUS AGAIN

Dance Hall Days love,
Dance Hall days (X2)

Take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you (x5)

CHORUS
