The Ballroom Of Romance |
| In the ballroom of romance, there’s a rock band playing, |
| People swaying to the beat, swaying in the heat, |
| In the corner over there by the door is a local casanova, |
| Yelling for another double scotch, «hey, steady on the rocks!» |
| And when the girl walked in, a complete unknown, |
| There was mass confusion, this beauty was alone, |
| And then the room began to shimmer, |
| Every heart was beating fast, |
| Every man who had to win her, |
| Was moving fast, they said |
| I’m ready, I’m ready for romance, |
| I’m ready for romance is here at last; |
| In the ballroom of romance, there’s a young man waiting, |
| Standing looking over at the scene, it could be you or me, |
| Every eye in the room was watching as she walked over to him, |
| Whispered «do you want to come with me, I’m heading for the beach,» |
| In her BMW 635, going smooth at ninety, feeling good to be alive, |
| And then the moon began to shimmer, |
| Hey the sea was roaring in, |
| Just one kiss and then his heart, |
| Began to sing, he said |
| I’m ready, I’m ready for romance, |
| I’m ready for romance is here at last; |
| Hey the moon began to shimmer, |
| And the sea was roaring in, |
| The last thing I remember, |
| Was her kiss, I said |
| I’m ready, I’m ready for romance, |
| I’m ready, I’m ready for romance, |
| I said I’m ready, I’m ready for romance, |
| I’m ready for romance is here at last! |
| In the ballroom of romance, |
| In the ballroom of romance, |
| In the ballroom of romance, |
| In the ballroom of romance, |
| I’m ready! |
| Life goes on, same old song, |
| Life goes on, and love grows strong… |
