The World Was Dancing

Lyrics

WOMAN 1:
 Tomorrow you'll be here my love
 Tomorrow we'll be one
 Tomorrow we can follow through
 On all that we've begun
 Tomorrow we'll be free my love
 We'll never be afraid
 MAN 1:
 Daddy bought a store out in Pittsburgh
 And he called his boss and quit
 And we tried to convince him
 The risk was too much
 But he still was convinced
 Of his own Midas Touch
 So he bought this piece of sh*t
 I packed up and went off to Princeton
 With a scholarship in hand
 Well, I'd call up my folks every weekend or so
 And I'd tell them how college was helping me grow
 Which was just what they had planned
 And then I met this girl named Amy
 With a smile as bright as day
 And while the Pirates beat the Orioles
 We fell in love and danced the night away
 WOMAN 1:
 Tomorrow we'll be free my love
 We'll never be afraid
 MAN 2:
 And we were dancing
 The world was dancing
 Dancing
 Daddy lost his shirt out in Pittsburgh
 As my sophomore year rolled round
 Well he had hired some schmuck
 That he knew from the war
 And one weekend he left him
 In charge of the store
 And he burned it to the ground
 And then I met this girl named Lisa
 On a couch at Alpha-Mu
 But then she transferred to Macalester
 So it's just as well that Amy never knew
 WOMAN 1:
 Tomorrow we'll be free my love
 We'll never be afraid
 MAN 2:
 And we were dancing
 The world was dancing
 Dancing
 MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:
 La, la, la, la... (etc.)
 MAN 2:
 Daddy got his job back that summer
 So he hid his pride and pain
 And they threw him a party
 And baked him a cake
 And they sent me a ticket
 To come winter break
 But I guess I missed the plane
 And since I'd spent so long with Amy
 We got ourselves engaged
 But then I thought
 I can't,
 This can't be right
 'Cause dreams get burned down overnight
 I wasn't quite prepared to choose,
 To take that risk and maybe lose
 And since I couldn't tell her why
 I hit the road
 And never said goodbye
 WOMAN 1:
 Tomorrow you'll be here my love
 Tomorrow we'll be one
 Tomorrow we can follow through
 On all that we've begun
 WOMAN 1 & MAN 2:
 Tomorrow we'll be free my love
 We'll never be
 WOMAN 1:
 Afraid...
 MAN 2:
 And I was dancing
 MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:
 And I was dancing
 MAN 2:
 And they were dancing
 MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN:
 And I was dancing
 MAN 2, MAN 1, WOMAN 1, & WOMAN 2:
 The world was dancing
 MAN 2:
 Dancing
