Thread Name: Help: Angelina would you like to Dance Again
Subject: RE: Help: Angelina would you like to Dance Again
The song is Angeline. Don't know off-hand who wrote it, but the only version I've ever heard recorded was by Ed Bruce.

I'm winging from memory here, but I think this is pretty close.

Here we are a-dancin' in a warm, cozy light
Two total strangers unknown
I'm not gonna as if you're married or not
I don't think it's necessary that I should know
I won't look at your finger, don't you look at mine
We'll keep all the questions to ourselves
All we need to do is exchange our first names
Angeline, would you like to dance again?

CHORUS:
Angeline, would you like to dance again?
I may not be the best, but I'll be the best I can
I'd gladly change a dollar for the two-song quarter band
Angeline, would you like to dance again?

Here we are a-wakin' hours after dawn
Two total strangers yesterday
I'm still not gonna ask if you're married or not
It's too late to matter, anyway
I haven't looked at your finger, don't guess you've looked at mine
We've kept all the questions to ourselves
I'm not gonna ask your number, but I'm always there by 10
Angeline, would you like to dance again?

CHORUS


Won't guarantee that's it to the letter, but I think it's close. If somebody can pick up errors, please post corrections.

cheers,

david
