[Lyrics for City Boy – The World Loves A Dancer]
Applying her make-up and wanting to wake up, She
Slips into something tight. With rouge on her Ace,
Lipstick in place She dresses to Ace the light:
Humming a tune and leaving her room She’s ready to
Brave the night.
The world loves a dancer, the moon in her eyes. The
World loves a dancer, step into the light.
Through living with losers the tools and the boozers
Are sleeping outside her door. They’re all Marion
Brandos with novelty tangos Who polish their shoes on
The floor. With Lavender Lovers who laugh under-
Covers And dance when the crowd calls more.
The world loves a dancer, the moon in her eyes The
World loves a dancer, step into the light.
Just for a moment, caught up in romance, She
Silently takes the floor. She’s dancing a slow
One, partnering no-one And answering all the
Applause.
The world loves a dancer, the moon in her eyes.
Theworld loves a dancer, step into the light.
