Nancy

Nancy is the only girl that I have ever loved I see her every morning when the sun comes risin' up And if I had the courage to, I'd come to her and say "Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day? Will we dance all the diddley ay-den day?" Nancy makes her way to work, a-smiling, bright and fair She opens up the general shop with flowers in her hair And as I walk the room behind her, I whisper, and I pray "Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day? Will we dance all the diddley ay-den day?" A hand upon the handle, and I'm standin' in the store Her sweet hello gets me to glow just like it's done before But I can feel me cheeks are rosy, I'm too red to relay "Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day? Will we dance all the diddley ay-den day?" I wander, and I wonder if I'm ever gonna get The grit to court a girl like this, I haven't found it yet And I mumble as I stumble, and Friday starts to fade Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day? Will we dance all the diddley ay-den day? Now the light is fadin', and she's closin', closin' time The sun is done, the dusk is on, and I'm wishin' upon high That the man in the moon would wink and make the words all come me way "Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day? Will we dance all the diddley ay-den day?" Nancy's walkin' my way with the evening in her eyes As I step out, without a doubt, she slows and breaks her stride Is she waitin' like I'm wantin' for a humbly whispered, "Hey Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day? Will we dance all the diddley ay-den day?" Now the Legion's loadin' up as fast as Friday night The band is on the stand, and Nancy's hand is holdin' mine I'm glad her head is on my shoulder, and I got the guts to say "Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day? Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day? Will you dance with me, Nancy, all the diddley ay-den day? Will you dance all the diddley ay-den day?"
