Mark Knopfler Lyrics
"Secondary Waltz"

The school christmas party is coming
We aint doing rugby no more
Mcintyre teaching us waltzing
Out on the gymnasium floor
Out on the gymnasium floor

Mcintyres out of the army
you'll be slippered if you get it wrong
Mcintyres dim, booms loud in the gym
And we've only got our little shorts on
we've only got our little shorts on

And its one, two, three, two, two - We're all a disgrace
Mcintyre tore us apart
And we dance with ourselves, when we'd all found a space
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
Waltzing with fear in our hearts,

Comes the day of the final manoeuvres, all of our heads are a whirl
Getting much closer to D Day
This time we are gonna to do it with girls
This time we are gonna to do it with girls

In the arena the ladies were waiting
A twelve year old partner to guide
Some matches were fixed, the rest of us mixed
And a fat girl got left at the side
a fat girl got left at the side.

And its one, two, three, two, two - We're all a disgrace
Mcintyre tore us apart
And we dance with ourselves, when we'd all found a space
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
Waltzing with fear in our hearts

When you come to my fights, and I'm under the lights
And you see that my footwork is false
Dont count me out at the start of the bout
Im just doing the secondary waltz
Doing the secondary waltz
