Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows
You know it's alright
I said it's alright
You know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only
My one and only
Is that the way it should start?
Crazy ways are evident
By the way you wearin' your clothes
Sippin' booze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow
I said it's alright
You know it's alright
I said it's all in my heart
You'll be my only
My one and only
Is that the way it should start?
I told your mother I'd get you home
But I didn't tell her I had no car
I saw a lion, he was standin' alone
With a tadpole in a jar
You know it's alright
I said it's alright
I said it's all in my heart
You'll be my only
My one and only
Is that the way it should start?
So dancing days are here again
As the evening starts to grow
I got my flower, I got my power
You are my woman who knows
I said it's alright
You know it's alright
You know it's all in my, all in my, all in my
You'll be my only
My one and only
Is that the way it should start? Hey, isn't it?
Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it...
I'ma drive and move it
Thank you very much
John Henry Bonham
