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
