Roseland Taxi Dancer

Lyrics

[Intro] Come on now, Granny dear You're much too old to cry You got your memories But dearie, so do I [Verse 1] She was the sweetest rose Of all that strange bouquet The music played forever As we danced the night away [Chorus] Come on and take a chance, sir On a Roseland taxi dancer Hey, hey, dance your night away Here's your ticket to romance, sir Come on, sailor, what's the answer? The band'll play 'til the break of day [Post-Chorus] And though she'll never love you You can pass away the while Trade your ticket for a smile [Verse 2] I got a ticket for one more Come on, you've nothing left to lose It's once more 'round the floor Sweetie, listen to those Sugar Blues [Chorus] Come on and take a chance, sir On a Roseland taxi dancer Hey, hey, dance your night away Here's your ticket to romance, sir Come on, sailor, what's the answer? The band'll play 'til the break of day [Post-Chorus] And though she'll never love you You can pass away the while Trade your ticket for a smile [Outro] Come on now, Granny dear You're much too old to cry You've got your yesterdays But dearie, so do I Oh dearie, so do I
