le danse de la joie

Singer:emmylou harris

paint me on that lipstick smile

dance around the house in style

wiggle'n'wag those pretty legs

come on gal

don't make me beg

go on and get your lampshade on

rattle that old bag of bones

cut you a rug all which a way

mon cher ami

bons temps rouler

bons temps rouler

mon cher ami

c'est moi et toi toujours en vie

is anything in life more sweet

then you and me and four left feet

oh mama

oh papa

la danse de joie

papa

mama

the night is young

the stars are strung

la danse de joie

mama

papa

every now and then the blues

run off with my dancing shoes

the only the thing that'll bring em back

is right there in your flour sack

hand me down my rolling pin

give me that old po' boy grin

i'll pat out some biscuit dough

tu e moi la fais do do

tu e moi la fais do do

je vais metre sur fats domino

la danse de joie c'est tout le plus

ain't no one home but me and you
