Borderline
BORDERLINE
I had a love all sweet and shy.
Couldn’t say I love you ‘til by and by.
One fine day he asked for my hand.
I gave him my heart, now he’s my man.
Swing your partner round and round,
Up and down and back around.
Swing your partner round this town,
And dosy do back home.
Promenade!
I had a love in love with himself.
Had 10 shiny trophies up on his shelf.
He said I want you, but I saw in his eyes,
He was lookin’ in a mirror for another prize.
Swing your partner round and round,
Up and down and back around.
Swing your partner round this town,
And dosy do back home.
Bordelay!
I had a love on the borderline.
His moods swung up and down all the time.
One fine day he disappeared.
Gone ten days, he was on tear.
Swing your partner round and round,
Up and down and back around.
Swing your partner round this town,
And dosy do back home.
Allemand!
Well all three men are one and the same.
My man’s on the brink; he’s plain insane.
My heart swings up and down all the time.
It’s love on the border’s borderline.
Swing your partner round and round,
Up and down and back around.
Swing your partner round the town,
And dosy do back home.
And dosy do back home.
