Karaoké Dance Little Jean Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I played a wedding for the money and I wished I could have told the bride and groom

Just what I think of marriage and what's in store after their honeymoon

And I was grumblin' to the dancers about how men and women ought to live apart

And how a promise never made can not be broken and can never break a heart

Then suddenly from out of nowhere a little girl came dancing 'cross the floor

And all her crinolines were billowing beneath the skirt of calico that she wore

Oh, what a joy fell on the honored guests as each one of them was drawn into her dream

And they laughed and stomped and clap their hands and hollered at her dance little jean

And they said dance little jean this day is for you

Two people you love stood up to say 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 'cos I figured what this get together meant

How it ended year of tears and sad confusion that a little girl have spent

And 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

And we played

Dance little jean this day is for you

Two people you love stood up to say I do

Dance little jean

The prayer that you had was answered today your mama's marrying your dad

It was answered today your mama's marrying your dad
