Dancing back to back Takes you off the beaten track You don't look at your partner at all When you dance back to back That's that new attack That the other dances lack You can see what goes on in the hall When you dance back to back... Your partner won't see you make eyes at who dances by Your partner, oh my dear, he's doing the same, That's why you must dance back to back, Let me place you in the pack Cut the cards and I'll deal you a queen and a jack Back to back!
