Dance Little Jean

by

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I played a wedding for the money,

and I wished that I could tell the bride and groom

Just what I thought of marriage

And what in store after their honeymoon

and I was grumblin' to the dancers

'bout how men and women ought to live apart

And how a promise never made can not be broken

And can never break your heart

When sudenly from out of nowhere

A little girl came dancing 'cross the floor

All her crinolines were billowing

Beneath the skirt of calico that she wore

Oh what a joy fell on the honored guests

As each of them was drawn inside her dream

And they laughed and clapped and stomped their feet

And hollered at her "Dance little Jean"

Dance, little Jean, this day is for you

two people you love, stood up and said "I do"

Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had

Was answered today

Your mama's marrying your dad

Well, my cynical heart just melted

'Cause I knew what this get together meant

How it ended year of tears and sad confusion

That the little girl had spent

Well they told the band to pack it up

About the time the couple cut the cake

But we played as long as they stayed

For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake

(Chorus)
