Capo 2
My name is Mary
I'm from Greenville, Mississippi
This is where I live
in this old folks' dormitory
Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us
She plays that old upright
but Sarah always seems to leave us
When she plays something comes over me
'cause from my head all the way to my feet
Chorus:
I want to dance
I want to snap my fingers all night long and dance
I want to move around the room just like a woman in a trance
All night
I want to dance
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
I want to listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears
'cause one day I'm going to dance right out of here
Verse 2:
I have three girls and a boy
but now one's gone up to heaven
She's with her papa now
'cause he left for lack of penicilin
And the older that I get I figure everyone is dying
They're all dying for a change
And I know I'm dying for some action
Days like these Sunday seems so far away
So until then I'm gonna sit right here
And here I'll stay
Chorus
...right outta here
I'd marry you if you could dance, that's what I said
'cause where I'm going there'll be dancing everyday
Chorus
Final Chorus:
I want to dance
I want to snap my fingers all night long and dance
I want to move around the room just like a woman in a trance
All night
I want to dance
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
I want to listen to the music that's been ringing in my ears
'cause one day I'm going to dance right out of here
