If you ever see my daddy dance, momma moving right by his side
take a look at that true romance, take a look at the look in their eyes
the way they move with natural grace, stops the other dancers in their place
no one wants to miss their chance to see my mom and daddy dance.

No one knows what my daddy went through, to stay alive through world war two
to get back home to mom again, daddy had the will to win
mom and daddy started off tough, made their own breaks, had a little luck
one by one they had three boys and a whole lot of noise,

Watchin my daddy dance...

If you ever see my daddy dance, two feet off the floor
he's a man in a trance, he forgot what he came here for
if you ever see my daddy dance, sparks flying off his shoes,
you'd say he was a man who never ever had the blues,

Watchin my daddy dance...

Well his boys grew up and they learned to sing, and one day they started a band
they sang that family harmony, and everybody said it sounded grand,
mom and daddy blessed their boys and they danced to the band for the world to see,
I know it was a joyful noise cause one of those boys was me,

Watchin my daddy dance...

If you ever see my daddy dance two feet off the floor
he's a man in a trance, he forgot what he came here for
if you ever see my daddy dance, sparks flying off his heels
if you ever see my daddy dance, you'd know how I feel,

Watchin my daddy dance
Watchin my daddy dance
Watchin my daddy dance...
