lyrics

Alan:
You can dance if you want to
Stomp yer clogs - wave yer 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…

Alan & Scott:
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

Scott
Morris Dance, c'mon Morris Dance...
Morris Dance, oh yeah Morris dance

Scott & Alan:
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, 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
Morris Dance, oh yeah Morris dance
Come on Morris Dance, Morris Dance...
