| Applying her make-up and wanting to wake up, She
|
| Slips into something tight. |
| With rouge on her Ace,
|
| Lipstick in place She dresses to Ace the light:
|
| Humming a tune and leaving her room She’s ready to Brave the night.
|
| (Chorus) The world loves a dancer, moving in time
|
| The world loves a dancer, the moon in her eyes. |
| The
|
| World loves a dancer, step into the light.
|
| Through living with losers the tools and the boozers
|
| Are sleeping outside her door. |
| They’re all Marion
|
| Brandos with novelty tangos Who polish their shoes on The floor. |
| With Lavender Lovers who laugh under-
|
| Covers And dance when the crowd calls more.
|
| (Chorus) The world loves a dancer, moving in time
|
| The world loves a dancer, the moon in her eyes The
|
| World loves a dancer, step into the light.
|
| Just for a moment, caught up in romance, She
|
| Silently takes the floor. |
| She’s dancing a slow
|
| One, partnering no-one And answering all the
|
| Applause.
|
| (Chorus) The world loves a dancer, moving in time.
|
| The world loves a dancer, the moon in her eyes.
|
| Theworld loves a dancer, step into the light. |
