See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
entering through the door
Ruby glistening from her navel,
shimmering around the floor
Bells on feet go ting-a-ling-a-linging
going through my head
Sweat is falling just a-like a-teardrops
running from her head

Now she's dancing going through the
movements swaying to and fro
Body moving bringing back a memory
thoughts of long ago
Blood is rushing, temperature is rising,
sweating from my brow
Like a snake her body facinates me,
I can't look away now

Stop! Stop! Stop! all the dancing, give
me time to breathe
Stop! Stop! Stop! all the dancing, or
I'll have to leave

Now she's moving all around the
tables luring all in sight
But I know that she cannot see me
hidden by the light
Closer, closer she is getting nearer,
soon she'll be in reach
As I enter into a spotlight she stands
lost for speech

Stop! Stop! Stop! all the dancing, give
me time to breathe
Stop! Stop! Stop! all the dancing, or
I'll have to leave

Stop! Stop! Stop! all the dancing, give
me time to breathe
Stop! Stop! Stop! all the dancing, or
I'll have to leave

Now I hold her, people are staring,
don't know what to think
And we struggle knocking over tables
spilling all the drinks
Can't they understand that I want her,
happens every week
Heavy hand upon my collar throws
me in the street

Stop! Stop! Stop! all the dancing, give
me time to breathe
Stop! Stop! Stop! all the dancing, or
I'll have to leave
