Dancing at the Policeman's Ball

You hit the floor at the sound of the band

With a partner in your hand

Restless and breathless you dance the night away

Did I hear you say it is your aim

For every night to be just the same

And you hope the city outside's gonna be okay

Dancing at the Policeman's ball

Dancing at the Policeman's ball

Move your feet while the city sleeps

Dancing at the Policeman's ball

I saw you smile when I heard you say

A life o' crime just does not pay

And criminals are heading for a big fall

And when I asked to see your badge

You said Man I don't need to flash no badge

Can't you see I'm dancing at the Policeman's ball

Dancing at the Policeman's ball

Dancing at the Policeman's ball

Move your feet while the city sleeps

Dancing at the Policeman's ball

In precinct five ten people died

In precinct six it was twenty five

Nobody taking the law to the streets tonight

Did I hear you say it is your aim

For every night to be just the same

And you hope the city outside's gonna be okay

Dancing at the Policeman's ball

Dancing at the Policeman's ball

Move your feet while the city sleeps

Dancing at the Policeman's ball
