Dance Little Jean


Played a weddin' for the moneyAnd I wish I could've told the bride and groomJust what I think of marriageWhat's in store after the honeymoon

I was rumblin' through the verses'Bout how men and women ought to live apartHow the promise never madeCannot be broken and can never break a heart

Suddenly from out of nowhereThis little girl came spinning across the floorHer crinolines were billowing beneath theSkirt of calico she wore

As her joy fell on the honored guestsEach one of them was drawn into her dreamAnd they laughed and stamped and clapped their handsAnd hollered at her "dance little Jean!"
And they said dance little JeanThis day is for youTwo people that you loveStood up to say I do.
Dance little JeanA prayer that you hadWas answered todayYour mom is marrying your dad.

Well the cynics heart just meltedAs I figure what this gift together meantAnd how it ended years of tearsAnd sad confusion that the little girl had spent

They told the band to pack it upAbout the time the couple cut the cakeBut we stayed and we played all night longFor love and laughs and little Jeannie Sage
We played dance little JeanThis day is for youTwo people that you loveStood up to say I do.
And they said dance little JeanThis day is for youTwo people that you loveStood up to say I do.
Dance little JeanA prayer that you hadWas answered todayYour mom is marrying your dad.
(repeat chorus twice)
