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

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

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 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

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



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