   C majorC            FF  C majorC
The school Christmas party is com-ing
  C majorC          FF
We ain't doing rugby no more
 FF     G+G      C majorC  FF
McIntyre’s teaching us waltz-ing
C majorC     FF     C majorC    FF
Out on the gymnasium floor
C majorC      FF  C majorC
Out on the gymnasium floor
C majorC           FF C majorC
McIntyre's out of the ar-my
               FF
You’ll be slipper’d if you get it wrong
FF     G+G     C majorC      FF
McIntyre's din looms loud in the gym
      C majorC     FF      C majorC   FF
And we've only got a little short song
    C majorC      FF   C majorC
We've only got a little short song

     FF              C majorC
And it's one two three two two we're all a disgrace
          FF
McIntyre tore us apart
                   C majorC       FF (pick the FF)
And we dance with ourselves when we’d all found a space
  C majorC     FF      C majorC   FF
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
  C majorC      FF     C majorC
Waltzing with fear in our hearts


C majorC C FF C majorC C G+G C majorC (same as intro)


Comes the day of the final maneuvers
All of our heads are a-whirl
It’s getting much closer to D-Day
This time we're gonna do it with girls
This time we're gonna do it with girls

In the arena the ladies were waiting
A augmentedA twelve year old partner to guide
Some matches were fixed
The rest of us mixed
And a fat girl got left at the side
The fat girl got left at the side

     FF              C majorC
And it's one two three two two we're all a disgrace
          FF
McIntyre tore us apart
                   C majorC       FF (pick the FF)
And we dance with ourselves when we’d all found a space
  C majorC     FF      C majorC   FF
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
  C majorC      FF     C majorC
Waltzing with fear in our hearts


     FF             C majorC
When you come to my fights and I’m under the lights
                FF
And you see that my footwork is false
                    FF  (pick the FF)
Don't count me out at the start of the bout
     C majorC     FF    C majorC   FF
I'm just doing the secondary waltz
C majorC     FF    C majorC
Doing the secondary waltz
