Way down in the south of France All the ladies love to dance Kick their heels up in the air Snap their fingers for romance All the gentlemen compare Blonde or black or auburn hair Check the motion and the style Ah, you know they take their while Hey, to make the motion more complete Yeah, to make it more a treat Hope they show us where to go Come on down and see the show When the rhythm's really right You can burn it down tonight When the singing's really fine Sweet as Spanish sherry wine When the pub can't contain the beat It just rolls out in the street Spills on down the avenue Bringing dancers to their feet. When it's good as it can be It gets better when they sing Oh, these folks don't never sleep Till they're passed out in the street Way down in the south of France All the ladies love to dance Clap their hands and walk on air Yeah, the feeling's really there Won't you take a little taste Raise it to your charming face? When the rhythm's really right You can burn it down tonight When the singing's really fine Sweet as Spanish sherry wine Go on take a chance The ladies do love to dance.
