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.
