The Floral Dance - Peter Dawson[00:00:00]

Written by：Katie Moss[00:00:00]

As I walked home on a summer night[00:00:14]

When stars in heaven were shining bright[00:00:17]

Far away from the footlight's glare[00:00:20]

Into the sweet and scented air[00:00:22]

Of a quaint old Cornish town[00:00:24]

Borne from afar on the gentle breeze[00:00:31]

Joining the murmur of the summer seas[00:00:33]

Distant tones of an old world dance[00:00:35]

Played by the village band perchance[00:00:37]

On the calm air came floating down[00:00:40]

I thought I could hear the curious tone[00:00:52]

Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone[00:00:55]

Fiddle cello big bass drum[00:00:57]

Bassoon flute and euphonium[00:00:59]

Far away as in a trance[00:01:02]

I heard the sound of the floral dance[00:01:05]

And soon I heard such a bustling and prancing[00:01:10]

And then I saw the whole village was dancing[00:01:12]

In and out of the houses they came[00:01:14]

Old folk young folk all the same[00:01:16]

In that quaint old Cornish town[00:01:19]

Every boy took a girl around the waist[00:01:25]

And hurried her off in tremendous haste[00:01:27]

Whether they knew one another I care not[00:01:29]

Whether they cared at all I know not[00:01:31]

But they kissed as they danced along[00:01:34]

And there was the band with that 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[00:01:52]

Each one making the most of his chance[00:01:54]

All together in the floral dance[00:01:56]

I felt so lonely standing there[00:02:12]

And I could only stand and stare[00:02:15]

For I had no boy with me[00:02:18]

Lonely I should have to be[00:02:20]

In that quaint old Cornish town[00:02:23]

When suddenly hast'ning down the lane[00:02:29]

A figure I knew I saw quite plain[00:02:31]

With outstretched hands he came along[00:02:33]

And carried me into that merry throng[00:02:35]

And fiddle and all went dancing town[00:02:37]

We danced to the band with the curious tone[00:02:47]

Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone[00:02:50]

Fiddle cello big bass drum[00:02:52]

Bassoon flute and euphonium[00:02:54]

Each one making the most of his chance[00:02:57]

All together in the floral dance[00:02:59]

Dancing here prancing there[00:03:01]

Jigging jogging everywhere[00:03:03]

Up and down and round the town[00:03:04]

Hurrah for the Cornish floral dance[00:03:07]
