Lyrics

The school Christmas party is coming We ain't doing rugby no more McIntyre's teaching us waltzing Out on the gymnasium floor Out on the gymnasium floor McIntyre's out of the army You'll be slippered if you get it wrong McIntyre's din booms loud in the gym And we've only got a little short song We've only got a little short song And it's one-two-three two-two we're all a disgrace McIntyre tore us apart And we danced with ourselves, when we'd all found a space Waltzing with fear in our hearts Waltzing with fear in our hearts Comes the day of the final maneuvers All of our heads are a-whirl It's gettin' much closer to D-day This time we're going to do it with girls This time we're going to do it with girls In the arena the ladies were waiting A twelve year old partner to guide Some matches were fixed, the rest of us mixed And a fat girl got left at the side A fat girl got left at the side And it's one-two-three two-two we're all a disgrace McIntyre tore us apart And we danced with ourselves, when we'd all found a space Waltzing with fear in our hearts Waltzing with fear in our hearts When you come to my fights and I'm under the lights And you see that my footwork is false Don't count me out, at the start of the bout I'm just doing the secondary waltz Doing the secondary waltz
