Silk and Sunday Beads - Instrumental

Chorus

My dancehall gal steps through the room

Waltzing in sunbeam afternoons

The rag rolls strong, she taps her shoes

My dancehall gal, she can’t refuse

Post-Chorus

Hey la la, hey la la

Twirl around, hey la la

Verse 2

Silk and satin skirts in a line

Laughing bright when the daylight shines

Every heart swings right on time

She glides through life on a ragtime rhyme

Pre-Chorus

Uplifted high in the stride and tune

You’ll find your cheer, you’ll find it soon

Chorus

My dancehall gal steps through the room

Waltzing in sunbeam afternoons

The rag rolls strong, she taps her shoes

My dancehall gal, she can’t refuse

Post-Chorus

Hey la la, hey la la

Twirl around, hey la la

Bridge

Boots tapping light on the parquet floor

Spinning with laughter, asking for more

Sun hats waving all in a row

She brightens up where’er she goes

Chorus

My dancehall gal steps through the room

Waltzing in sunbeam afternoons

The rag rolls strong, she taps her shoes

My dancehall gal, she can’t refuse

Post-Chorus

Hey la la, hey la la

Twirl around, hey la la

Outro

Glide and leap while the music plays

Golden smiles chase away the gray

One last bow, the night anew

My dancehall gal, this song’s for you
