Melody danced with a traveling band
Melody danced every room in the land
She was wet and wild
But inside she was just a child
Yet these were things I did not understand
The first time I saw Melody dance.
Melody danced up the runway to fame
Through cigarette smoke
And dressing room tables with potions for pain
No more nickels and dimes
And nowhere left to hide
When the whole world thinks they know you by name
Since they all saw Melody dance.
They cried Melody dance, Melody dance
Nobody moves the way Melody can
Melody dance, Melody dance
Nobody moves the way you do
Yes they say
Melody dance, Melody dance
You’ve got to see Melody dance.
Oh, oh oh.
Melody’s going back home on the train
A small crowd has gathered
And out on the platform its starting to rain
The Sunday papers say
A small service was held today
The story of Melody’s life they’ve already named
The Last Time I Saw Melody Dance
They cried Melody dance, Melody dance
Nobody moves the way Melody can
Melody dance, Melody dance
Nobody moves the way you do
Yes they say
Melody dance, Melody dance
You’ve got to see Melody dance.
Oh, oh oh.
