Dance Lyrics - Caedmons Call

My name is Mary 

And I'm from Greenville, Mississippi 

Yeah but this is where I live 

Here in this old folks' dormitory 

And every Sunday night 

Sarah comes to see us 

And she plays that old upright 

But Sarah always seems to leave us 

And when she plays 

Something comes over me 

Goes from my head 

All the way to my feet 

And I wanna dance 

I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance 

I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance 

All night, I said I wanna dance 

I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance 

I wanna listen to the music that's been ringin' in my ears 

'Cause one day I'm gonna dance right outta here 

I had 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 penicillin 

The older that I get 

I figure everyone is dyin' 

They're all dyin' for a change 

And I know I'm dyin' for some action 

But days like these 

Sunday seems so far away 

So until then I'm gonna sit right here 

And here I'll stay 

I wanna dance 

I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance 

I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance 

All night, I said I wanna dance 

I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance 

I wanna listen to the music that's been ringin' in my ears 

'Cause one day I'm gonna dance right outta here, right outta here 

I'd marry you if you could dance that's what I said 

'Cause where I'm goin' there'll be dancin' everyday 

I'm gonna dance 

I'm gonna snap my fingers all night long and dance 

I'm gonna move around the room just like a woman in a trance 

All night, I'm gonna dance 

I'm gonna wrap my arms around your neck and dance 

I'm gonna listen to the music that's been ringin' in my ears 

'Cause one day I'm gonna dance right outta here 

So one day I'm gonna dance right outta here 

One day I'm gonna dance right outta here 

I'm gonna dance 

One day I'm gonna dance right outta here, here, here 

One day I'm gonna dance right outta 

I'm gonna dance
