In the hallway, in anticipation
My sister should have come in a midnight
Another Saturday, another date
My sister's married and she lives on an estate
My sister always did
The day they knocked down the Palais
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait
She knows they get away with things she never could
Where the big bands used to play
And my mom would always sit up and wait
Just like the Palais on a Saturday
It always ended up in a big row
Come on sister, have yourself a ball
But she used to come home and say
All her boyfriends used to come and call
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band
Come dancing
Part of my childhood died, just died
And there's a car park where the Palais used to stand
When my sister used to get home late
I can see them in the moonlight
But if I asked her I wonder if she would
Out of my window
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
She would be ready but she's always make them wait
Don't be afraid to come dancing
Come dancing
And all her friends will come dancing
Every Saturday night
Kissing by the garden gate
My sister went there on a Saturday
Why not come dancing
Come dancing
That's how they did it when I was just a kid
That's where the big bands used to come and play
On the site that used to be the local Palais
My sister stood and cried
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
My sister used to go to the Palais
And when they said come dancing
Two silhouettes
Come dancing
The day they knocked down the Palais
It's only natural
Before that they put up a bowling alley
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration
It's only natural?
