                       G                 
They put a parking lot on a piece of land
D                             G    
Where the supermarket used to stand
                                        D
Before that they put up a bowling alley ■
                                      G     
On the site that used to be the local palais
C                          G                    
That's where the big bands used to come and play
D                    G            
My sister went there on a Saturday
C           
Come dancing
                   G                    
All her boyfriends used to come and call
    Bm       D      
Why not come dancing
C         Em      G D
It's only natural ■ ■
G                              
■ Another Saturday another date
D7                                                
She would be ready but she's always make them wait
G                             
In the hallway in anticipation
D                                        G          
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration
C                           G                 
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
D                        G                
■ All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
C           
Come dancing
                            G               
That's how they did it when I was just a kid
                        D      
And when they said come dancing
C                   
My sister always did

[Verse]
Em                    D          C       
My sister should have come in at midnight
       Em               D          C   
And my mum would always sit up and wait
Em7             D       C      
It always ended up in a big row
        Em             D        C   
When my sister used to get home late
G        D                                          
■ Out of my window I could see them in the moonlight
G                                              D   
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate


[Chorus]
G Em           D                C     
■ The day they knocked down the palais
Em7                 C    
My sister stood and cried
Em7                           C     
The day they knocked down the palais
Em7                  C             
Part of my childhood died just died

[Verse]
                                  D7  
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band
                                                G    
And there's a car park where the palais used to stand
                            G                 
My sister's married and she lives on an estate
D                                         G   
Her daughters go out now it's her turn to wait


[Chorus]
C                            G                     
She knows they get away with things she never could
D                    G             G7   
But if I asked her I wonder if she would
C           
Come dancing
               G                   
Come on sister have yourself a ball
                   D           
Don't be afraid to come dancing
C                
It's only natural

C           
Come dancing
                     G            
Just like the palais on a Saturday
                               D      
And all her friends would come dancing
          C         Em          
While the big bands used to play
