Applying her make-up and wanting to wake up, She

slips into something tight. With rouge on her Ace,

lipstick in place She dresses to Ace the light:

Humming a tune and leaving her room She's ready to

brave the night.



(Chorus) The world loves a dancer, moving in time

The world loves a dancer, the moon in her eyes. The

world loves a dancer, step into the light.



Through living with losers the tools and the boozers

Are sleeping outside her door. They're all Marion

Brandos with novelty tangos Who polish their shoes on

the floor. With Lavender Lovers who laugh under-

covers And dance when the crowd calls more.



(Chorus) The world loves a dancer, moving in time

The world loves a dancer, the moon in her eyes The

world loves a dancer, step into the light.



Just for a moment, caught up in romance, She

silently takes the floor. She's dancing a slow

one, partnering no-one And answering all the

applause.



(Chorus) The world loves a dancer, moving in time.

The world loves a dancer, the moon in her eyes.

Theworld loves a dancer, step into the light.
