T Bone Burnett - You Should Have Seen Her Dance Lyrics



T Bone Burnett - You Should Have Seen Her Dance Lyrics




She wore a low cut black satin dress slit up the front and down the back
She wore black high heeled shoes with laces that went up her ankles
She wore black velvet gloves with rhinestone bracelets around them
She had long blonde hair
She had long blonde hair
And she sat on the jukebox with one leg propped up
And a crowd of boys gathered around her
And one tried to kiss her but she turned her face

And I wish you could have seen her dance
The way she soared across the floor
I wish you could have seen her dance
She did a pirouette then a kung fu step
I wish you could have seen her dance
The way she threw her hair through the air
And I wish you could have seen her dance

I asked her, "Do you come here often?"
She said, "I've never been here before."
I asked her her name and she said,
"They called me Kim Boston in England
And Kim English in Boston
And also in Dallas."
I said, "How did you like Dallas?"
She said, "It was just like Ireland
Except the wells don't look like wishing wells."

And I wish you could have seen her dance
The way she soared across the floor
She did the flavo and the tango and the flamenco
I wish you could have seen her dance
The way she threw her hair through the air
I wish you could have seen her dance

I asked, "Are you an actress?"
She said, "No, but do you think I'm good enough?"
She said, "You look like you belong on Monty Python, Eric Idle."
She said, "Do you wanna know what I do for work?"
I said, "Sure."
She had long blonde hair
I said, "Alright."
She had long blonde hair
She said I'm a maid and a dancer
I dance for three rock bands
And one of the bands even wrote a song about me

And I wish you could have seen her dance
I wish you could have seen her dance
I wish you could have seen her
Wish you could have seen her
Wish you could have seen her dance
