| Rub your eyes and look again
|
| Facial features show the strain
|
| But don’t back-a-don't back away
|
| Idle hours lose their charm
|
| But they won’t do you any harm
|
| If you don’t back-a-don't back away
|
| They won’t appreciate your long experience
|
| Working dance halls on your own
|
| They can’t mechanize the song and dance brigade
|
| They’ll only notice when we’ve gone
|
| It’s over today — don’t back away
|
| It’s over today — don’t back away
|
| It’s over today — don’t back away
|
| It’s over today — don’t back away
|
| But don’t back-a- don’t back-a- don’t back-a- don’t back away
|
| See that twinkle in your eye
|
| Precious moments never die
|
| So don’t back-a-don't back away
|
| In the time that you’ve been on
|
| A generation’s come and gone
|
| But don’t back-a-don't back away
|
| They won’t appreciate your long experience
|
| Working dance halls on your own
|
| They can’t mechanize the song and dance brigade
|
| They’ll only notice when we’ve gone
|
| It’s over today — don’t back away
|
| It’s over today — don’t back away
|
| It’s over today — don’t back away
|
| It’s over today — don’t back away
|
| But don’t back-a- don’t back-a- don’t back-a- don’t back away |
