Rub your eyes and look again. |
|
Facial features show the strain. |
|
But don't back-a-don't back away. |
|
Idle hours lose their charm. |
|
But they won't do you any harm. |
|
If you don't back-a-don't back away. |
|
They won't appreciate your long experience. |
|
Working dance halls on your own. |
|
They can't mechanize the song and dance brigade. |
|
They'll only notice when we've gone. |
|
It's over today - don't back away |
|
It's over today - don't back away |
|
It's over today - don't back away |
|
It's over today - don't back away |
|
But don't back-a- don't back-a- don't back-a- don't back away. |
|
See that twinkle in your eye. |
|
Precious moments never die. |
|
So don't back-a-don't back away. |
|
In the time that you've been on. |
|
A generation's come and gone. |
|
But don't back-a-don't back away. |
|
They won't appreciate your long experience. |
|
Working dance halls on your own. |
|
They can't mechanize the song and dance brigade. |
|
They'll only notice when we've gone. |
|
It's over today - don't back away |
|
It's over today - don't back away |
|
It's over today - don't back away |
|
It's over today - don't back away |
|
But don't back-a- don't back-a- don't back-a- don't back away. |
