Mark Knopfler Mark Knopfler - Secondary Waltz Lyrics

The school Christmas party is coming
Ain't doing rugby no more
McIntyre's teaching us waltzing
Out on the gymnasium floor
McIntyre's out of the army
You'll be slippered if you get it wrong
McIntyre's din booms loud in the gym
Well, we've only got our little shorts on
We've only got our little shorts on

And it's one,two,three,two,two we're all a disgrace
McIntyre tore us apart
And we danced with ourselves, when he yelled "Find a s___e"
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
Waltzing with fear in our hearts,

Comes the day of the final maneuver, all of our heads are a whirl
It's Getting much closer to "D"-day
This time we're going to do it with girls
In the arena the ladies were are waiting
A twelve year partner to dance
Some matches were fixed, the rest of us mixed
And a fat girl got left at the side
The fat girl got left on the side.

And it's one,two,three,two,two we're all a disgrace
McIntyre tore us apart
We dance with ourselves, when we'd all found the s___e
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
It's the secondary waltz

When you come to my fights, and I'm under the lights
See that my footwork is false
Don't count me out, at the start of the bow
I'm just doing the secondary waltz
Doing the secondary waltz
And it's the secondary waltz
