Lyrics

[Verse 1] Now children, listen well Unto the tale I will tell Of little Lulubelle And her dancing Ensnared by glossy magazines She wore immodest clothes And soon became the kind of girl That everybody loathes [Chorus] Oh, what a price you pay When you go dancing today Oh, what a price you pay For your dancing [Verse 2] Lulubelle "made the scene" I think you know what I mean Lulubelle drank caffeine And read novels She wore make-up and learned to drive And went around in pants She got a job, and spoke to men Corrupted by the dance [Chorus] Oh, what a price you pay When you go dancing today Oh, what a price you pay For your dancing [Bridge] She ate whatever she felt like Without a hint of shame She cut her hair! She burns in Hell Her dancing was to blame [Chorus] Oh, what a price you pay When you go dancing today Oh, what a price you pay For your dancing Oh, what a price you pay When you go dancing today Oh, what a price you pay For your dancing
