The Referendum Waltz
Steven Clark

Slightly more than half a chance, that's all we really need
It's not a great romance, and nothing's guaranteed
I've got two left feet, and you keep trying to lead
But we can spin round the floor for a dance
With slightly more than half a chance

Some people say I'm too slow, and some have said you're far too small
That we can't afford to buy tickets, and we shouldn't go dancing at all

Slightly more than half a chance, that's all we really need
It's not a great romance, and nothing's guaranteed
I've got two left feet, and you keep trying to lead
But we can spin round the floor for a dance
With slightly more than half a chance

I can't keep up with a quickstep, and maybe you don't like to waltz
I'll try not to step on your toes, if you'll tolerate some of my faults

Slightly more than half a chance, that's all we really need
It's not a great romance, and nothing's guaranteed
I've got two left feet, and you keep trying to lead
But we can spin round the floor for a dance
With slightly more than half a chance

And they don't like who's leading the band, and your darling is wearing a frown
He says we will only embarrass ourselves,
and we should shut up and sit down

So I hope your reply won't be No, then with never a backward glance
Off round the floor we will go, if we just give ourselves half a chance

Slightly more than half a chance, that's all we really need
It's not a great romance, and nothing's guaranteed
I've got two left feet, and you keep trying to lead
But we can spin round the floor for a dance
With slightly more than half a chance
But we can spin round the floor for a dance
With slightly more than half a chance
