《The Floral Dance》歌词

[00:00:00] The Floral Dance - Tony Mason-Cox/Serge Ermoll

[00:00:10] As I walked home on a summer's night

[00:00:13] When stars in Heaven were shining bright

[00:00:16] Far away from the footlight's glare

[00:00:19] Into the sweet and scented air

[00:00:21] Of a quaint old Cornish town

[00:00:29] Born from afar on the gentle breeze

[00:00:32] Mingling with murmur of distant seas

[00:00:35] All the tones of an old world dance

[00:00:37] Played by the village band perchance

[00:00:40] From the calm air came floating down

[00:00:48] I thought I could hear the curious tone

[00:00:51] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:00:54] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:00:56] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:00:59] Far away as in a trance

[00:01:02] I heard the sound of the floral dance

[00:01:07] Then I heard such a bustling and prancing

[00:01:10] And I could see the whole village was dancing

[00:01:13] In and out of the houses they came

[00:01:15] Old folk young folk all the same

[00:01:18] In that quaint old Cornish town

[00:01:26] Every boy took a girl by the waist

[00:01:28] And carried her off in the tremendous haste

[00:01:31] Whether they knew one another I know not

[00:01:34] Whether they cared the four I care not

[00:01:37] But they kissed as they danced along

[00:01:45] There was the band with the curious tone

[00:01:47] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:01:50] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:01:53] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:01:56] Each one making the most of his chance

[00:01:58] All together in the floral dance

[00:02:20] I felt so lonely standing there

[00:02:25] And I could only stand and stare

[00:02:29] For I had no made with me

[00:02:32] Lonely I should have to be

[00:02:37] In that quaint old Cornish town

[00:02:45] When suddenly hastening down the lane

[00:02:48] A figure I knew I saw quite plain

[00:02:50] With outstretched towns I washed along

[00:02:53] And carried her into that merry thrown

[00:02:55] And fiddle and all went dancing down

[00:03:03] We danced to the band with the curious tone

[00:03:06] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:03:09] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:03:11] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:03:14] Each one making the most of his chance

[00:03:17] All together in the floral dance

[00:03:20] Dancing here prancing there

[00:03:22] Jigging jogging everywhere

[00:03:25] Up and down and round the town

[00:03:28] Hurrah for the Cornish floral dance
