O'er the chalk-cover'd ball-room in circles they swim;
He smiles upon her, and she smiles upon him;
Her arm on his shoulder is tenderly placed,
His hand quite as tenderly circles her waist;
They still bear in mind, as they're turning each other,
The proverb “one good turn's deserving another;”
And these bodily turns often end, it is said,
In turning the lady's or gentleman's head.
He smiles upon her, and she smiles upon him;
Her arm on his shoulder is tenderly placed,
His hand quite as tenderly circles her waist;
They still bear in mind, as they're turning each other,
The proverb “one good turn's deserving another;”
And these bodily turns often end, it is said,
In turning the lady's or gentleman's head.
