Intro: E


EThe school Christmas party is coming
			BWe ain't doing rugby no more
EMcIntyre’s teaching us waltzing
					BOut on the gymnasium floor
E					BOut on the gymnasium floor
EMcIntyre's out of the army
					B You’ll be slipper’d if you get it wrong
EMcIntyre's din looms loud in the gym
                 E             D                BAnd we've only got a little short song
          A             G                       EWe've only got a little short song


  
         C             GAnd it's one two three two two we're all a disgrace
                         CMcIntyre tore us apart
                                                    G                  CAnd we dance with ourselves when we’d all found a space
Bm                               CWaltzing with fear in our hearts
Am                               DWaltzing with fear in our hearts



E (same as intro)



Comes the day of the final manoeuvres

All of our heads are a whirl

It’s getting much closer to D-Day

This time we're gonna do it with girls

This time we're gonna do it with girls




In the arena the ladies were waiting

A twelve year old partner to guide

Some matches were fixed

The rest of us mixed

And a fat girl got left at the side

The fat girl got left at the side

         C             GAnd it's one two three two two we're all a disgrace
                         CMcIntyre tore us apart
                                                    G                  CAnd we dance with ourselves when we’d all found a space
Bm                               CWaltzing with fear in our hearts
Am                               DWaltzing with fear in our hearts




      C                                           G                      When you come to my fights and I’m under the lights
                  G/B          C

And you see that my footwork is false
                                 G              CDon't count me out at the start of the bout
            Bm                 CI'm just doing secondary waltz
Am                  DDoing the secondary waltz
