Age 60 now and I’ve got this to say

I feel a rock song coming – am writing down the tune

(There’s a classical song forming in the wings…)

++

I was a dancer — Damn it
In nineteen sixty nine
I was a dancer — Damn it
I danced alone ‘til closin’ time

I was a dancer — Damn it

And then the years went rolling by
I got so old
I couldn’t remember why
I used to dance so bold

Because I CAN, MAN!
I got the dancin’ down inside
Because I CAN, MAN!
It’s a truth I will not hide

‘Cause I am a dancer — Damn it
No time passin’ will make me stale
I am a dancer — Damn it
When I hear those axes wail

So move aside
And let me glide
I’m gonna step and sway and slide
‘Cause I am a dancer — Damn it
I got the rhythm
I got the beat
I am a dancer — Damn it
I was born with dancin’ feet

I am a dancer — Damn it
I gotta a style that’s only mine

I am a dancer — Damn it
I’ll make this dance floor shine
I am a dancer — Damn it
And I’ll dance ‘til closin’ time.
