Morris Dance
(Lyrics: A.Doonican/S.Doonican/A.White)

You can dance if you want to
Stomp yer clogs - wave a garland high
You can Right-Hand Star your way to the bar 
And your tankard never will run dry
At the Olde Cock & Pullett
Join the Mummers as they start to mime
And as your sticks ascend, just shake your bell ends
Making sure you pull out on time    -    You can dance…
 
Border dance if you want to
It's tradition, it's not a trend 
It's a rare old place where a blacked-up face
Is not there to offend
Dance with swords if you want to
Face a partner who is parallel
And when you raise your shaft, you won't feel so daft
Cos the lads are raising theirs as well

And Morris Dance, Morris Dance - with accordion or violin
Morris Dance, Morris Dance - here your hankies don’t go in the bin
Morris Dance, Morris Dance - for Solstice or Equinox
Take a chance, you can prance, with your keks tucked in your socks
Morris Dance, oh yeah Morris dance 
Come on Morris Dance, Morris Dance

Pace-egg if you want to
Or wear a hobby-horses head
Horn-dance like a stag if that is your bag
Or dance like a fool instead
On May Day, if you want to,
You can do it at the village fair
The size of your pole's a sight to behold
When erected for the people there
 
Morris dance Morris dance - if you're feeling that way inclined
Morris dance Morris dance - like it’s 1599
Morris dance Morris dance
Get your baldricks out tonight
Morris dance Morris dance
There’s nothing wrong with men in tights
Morris Dance, oh yeah Morris dance 
Come on Morris Dance, Morris Dance...
