On summer nights when the barley's high and the stars are twinkling in the sky
Take a walk by the river side and let the music be your guide
Follow where the pathway takes you, on your bike or arm in arm
Through the crossroads, to the dance hall, down the road to Murphy's barn
We plant the seeds and till the soil, we pray for rain and pray for sun
But now it's time to stop a while, forget your worries, every one -
Once the barn was full of grain, then old Murphy took the chance -
Cleaned it out and hired a band - now it's the Ballroom of Romance!
Whack fol the dah, now swing your partner, leave your troubles at the door,
We will dance until the morning light, come take my hand and we'll take the floor
Whack fol the dah, now swing your partner round the floor now one, two, three,
We will dance until the break of dawn, so take my hand and dance with me
The week is over, work is done, so now it's time to have some fun
The place is old and there's money owed, tonight forget that heavy load
The sky is clear without a cloud, the air it hums with music loud
The moon is full and shining bright they'll come from far and wide tonight
And will I get to steal a glance at the one who sends me in a trance?
If not, at least you'll get the dance down at the Ballroom of Romance!
Whack fol the dah, now swing your partner, leave your troubles at the door,
We will dance until the morning light, come take my hand and we'll take the floor,
Whack fol the dah, now swing your partner round the floor now one, two, three,
We will dance until the break of dawn, so take my hand and dance with me
Shined his boots and combed his hair, chosen something fine to wear
Like hand in glove, could this be love? Is there magic in the air?
The one that she sees every day now is lost for words to say
To the girl in the flowing dress this night they never will forget.
Whack fol the dah, now swing your partner, leave your troubles at the door,
We will dance until the morning light, come take my hand and we'll take the floor,
Whack fol the dah, now swing your partner round the floor now one, two, three,
We will dance until the break of dawn, so take my hand and dance with me
Whack fol the dah, now swing your partner, leave your troubles at the door,
We will dance until the morning light, come take my hand and we'll take the floor
Whack fol the dah, now swing your partner round the floor now one, two, three,
We will dance until the break of dawn, so take my hand and dance with me

On summer nights when the barley's high and the stars are twinkling in the sky
Take a walk by the river side and let the music be your guide
Follow where the pathway takes you, on your bike or arm in arm
Through the crossroads, to the dance hall, down the road to Murphy's barn
We plant the seeds and till the soil, we pray for rain and pray for sun
But now it's time to stop a while, forget your worries, every one -
Once the barn was full of grain, then old Murphy took the chance -
Cleaned it out and hired a band - now it's the Ballroom of Romance!
