My Wife The Dancer

I met a girl who told me she's a dancer

A prettier girl I've never seen before

I went to the teather

To see her

What a shock when I opened up the door

She was dancing the bump, bump, bump-ba-di-bump

The audience was going wild

She looked at me, and threw me a kiss

As I came stumbling down the isle

With every bump, bump, bump-ba-di-bump

My heart started bumping too

Now every night you see me in the front row seats

Cheering with the rest of them, and stomping my feet

I knew I met a girl to make my life complete

With a bump, bump, bump-ba-di-bump

A-a-a-a-a-let it go!

[*whistles and laughs*]

Yeah yeah yeah yeeaah!

I took her home to meet mum and pap

They said she was the girl for me

The wished us both a happy life

And that's when I made this gal my wife

When I get home each nine after five

She's got that radio on

She starts moving all around the kitchen floor

The neighbours peaking in are screaming "More, more, more, more!"

They asked if I sold tickets at my front door

To watch her dance that bump-ba-di-bump

Oh yeah!

To dance, dance, dance the bump-ba-di-bump, bump, bump

Ow!
