dance little jean

played a wedding for the money

and i wish i could've told the bride and groom

just what i think of marriage

what's in store after the honeymoon. i was rumbling through the verses 'bout how men and women ought to live apart

how the promise never made cannot be broken and can never break a heart. suddenly from out of nowhere this little girl came spinning across the floor

her crinolines were billowing beneath the skirt of calico she wore. as her joy fell on the honored guests

each one of them was drawn into her dream

and they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands and hollered at her dance little jean!"
