The Floral Dance - Tony Mason-Cox/Serge Ermoll[00:00:00]
As I walked home on a summer's night[00:00:10]
When stars in Heaven were shining bright[00:00:13]
Far away from the footlight's glare[00:00:16]
Into the sweet and scented air[00:00:19]
Of a quaint old Cornish town[00:00:21]
Born from afar on the gentle breeze[00:00:29]
Mingling with murmur of distant seas[00:00:32]
All the tones of an old world dance[00:00:35]
Played by the village band perchance[00:00:37]
From the calm air came floating down[00:00:40]
I thought I could hear the curious tone[00:00:48]
Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone[00:00:51]
Fiddle cello big bass drum[00:00:54]
Bassoon flute and euphonium[00:00:56]
Far away as in a trance[00:00:59]
I heard the sound of the floral dance[00:01:02]
Then I heard such a bustling and prancing[00:01:07]
And I could see the whole village was dancing[00:01:10]
In and out of the houses they came[00:01:13]
Old folk young folk all the same[00:01:15]
In that quaint old Cornish town[00:01:18]
Every boy took a girl by the waist[00:01:26]
And carried her off in the tremendous haste[00:01:28]
Whether they knew one another I know not[00:01:31]
Whether they cared the four I care not[00:01:34]
But they kissed as they danced along[00:01:37]
There was the band with the curious tone[00:01:45]
Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone[00:01:47]
Fiddle cello big bass drum[00:01:50]
Bassoon flute and euphonium[00:01:53]
Each one making the most of his chance[00:01:56]
All together in the floral dance[00:01:58]
I felt so lonely standing there[00:02:20]
And I could only stand and stare[00:02:25]
For I had no made with me[00:02:29]
Lonely I should have to be[00:02:32]
In that quaint old Cornish town[00:02:37]
When suddenly hastening down the lane[00:02:45]
A figure I knew I saw quite plain[00:02:48]
With outstretched towns I washed along[00:02:50]
And carried her into that merry thrown[00:02:53]
And fiddle and all went dancing down[00:02:55]
We danced to the band with the curious tone[00:03:03]
Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone[00:03:06]
Fiddle cello big bass drum[00:03:09]
Bassoon flute and euphonium[00:03:11]
Each one making the most of his chance[00:03:14]
All together in the floral dance[00:03:17]
Dancing here prancing there[00:03:20]
Jigging jogging everywhere[00:03:22]
Up and down and round the town[00:03:25]
Hurrah for the Cornish floral dance[00:03:28]
