Song Lyrics

 * Oh, I love to have a dance with Dorothy
 * Oh, I love to have a dance with Dot
 * We dance to all kinds of music
 * We love to dance the Romp Bomp-a-Stomp
 * We dance in the town and the country
 * Where the atmosphere is great
 * We love to have a dance with Dorothy
 * ‘Cause Dorothy’s our mate


 * Well, I love to have a dance with Wags the Dog
 * I love to have a dance with Wags
 * He loves to dance the tango
 * And he carries his bone in a big brown bag
 * We dance in the town and the country
 * Where the atmosphere is great
 * We love to have a dance with Wags the Dog
 * ‘Cause Wags is our mate


 * “Whoa I love dancing”


 * Now here comes Henry the Octopus
 * He always loves to dance
 * He twirls and spins and flourishes
 * He dances in his eight legged pants
 * We dance in the town and the country
 * Where the atmosphere is great
 * We love to have a dance with Henry
 * ‘Cause Henry's our mate


 * Here comes Captain Feathersword
 * Here comes our pirate friend
 * He dances jigs and hornpipes
 * He keeps dancing ‘till the end
 * We dance in the town and the country
 * Where the atmosphere is great
 * We love to have a dance with the Captain
 * ‘Cause the Captains our mate. Yeah


 * “Ha, ha, ha. Well blow me down”


 * Well we love to have a dance with Dusty
 * Well we love to have a dance with Slim
 * He can do all kinds of dances
 * And nobody dances better than him
 * He’ll dance in the town and the country
 * Where the atmosphere is great
 * We love to have a dance with Dusty
 * Slim Dusty’s our mate.


 * It's time to dance together
 * ‘Cause dancing’s so much fun
 * You can dance anywhere you like
 * There’s something here for everyone
 * We dance in the town and the country
 * Where the atmosphere is great
 * Oh lets all dance together
 * Because we’re all good mates
