Rub your eyes and look again.
Facial features take [show!?] the strain.
But don't back-a-don't back away.
Idle hours lost their charm.
They won't do you any harm.
If you don't back-a-don't back away.
[Chorus]
They won't recognize your long experience.
Working dance halls on your own.
They can't mechanize the song and dance brigade.
They'll only notice when we've gone.
It's over today, it's over today.
But don't back-a-don't back-a-don't back-
a-don't back away.
See that twinkle in your eyes.
Precious moments never die.
So don't back-a-don't back away.
In the time that you've been on.
A generation's come and gone.
So don't back-a-don't back away.
[Chorus]
They won't recognise your long experience etc. |
