"Dance Hall Days"
Jeremy Ryder (or, Jack Hues)
1983

Take your baby by the hand,
And make her do a high hand stand.
Take your baby by the heel,
And do the next thing that you feel.

We were so in phase
In our dance hall days.
We were cool on craze.
When I, you, and everyone we knew,
Could believe, do, and share in what was true.
Oh, I said:

Take your baby by the hair,
And pull her close and there there there.
Take your baby by the ears,
And play upon her darkest fears.

We were so in phase
In our dance hall days.
We were cool on craze.
When I, you, and everyone we knew,
Could believe, do, and share in what was true.
Oh, I said:

So take your baby by the wrist,
And in her mouth an amethyst.
And in her eyes two sapphires blue,
And you need her and she needs you,
And you need her and she needs you.

We were so in phase
In our dance hall days.
We were cool on craze.
When I, you, and everyone we knew,
Could believe, do, and share in what was true.
