There's gonna be no dancing, there's gonna be no dancing
Time and time again life is so strange
There's gonna be no dancing when they get home
He's not insane, it's just that everybody has to feel his pain
She's caught it like some disease
Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks
All I ever do is bow, so now you see how can it be
There's gonna be no dancing, there's gonna be no dancing
She can't even speak to him, he can't face her now
Why can't you give me anythin' but sympathy?"
He finds that the girl is not so easy to please
There's gonna be no dancing when they get home
There's gonna be no dancing when they get home
There's gonna be no dancing on my own
I don't know why but somebody, somebody has to cry
Oh, oh, after all, his nights were just a paper striptease
Now he's telling her every little thing he's done
There's gonna be no dancing, there's gonna be no dancing
He's getting down on his knees
Now he's read every one, he's such a drag
If he says, no dancing, there's gonna be no dancing
He says "Even though I wanna shake your hand
