[ti:The Floral Dance] [ar:Julie Andrews] [al:London Pride] [by:] [offset:0] [00:01.04]The Floral Dance _ Julie Andrews [00:14.57]As I walked home on a Summer night [00:17.41]When stars in Heaven were shining bright [00:19.85]Far away from the footlight's glare [00:22.49]Into the sweet and scented air [00:25.30]Of a quaint old Cornish town [00:32.79]Borne from afar on the gentle breeze [00:34.79]Joining the murmur of the summer seas [00:36.96]Distant tones of an old world dance [00:39.35]Played by the village band perchance [00:42.17]On the calm air came floating down [00:51.20]I thought I could hear the curious tone [00:53.49]Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone [00:55.91]Fiddle cello big bass drum [00:57.88]Bassoon flute and euphonium [01:00.00]Far away as in a trance [01:02.16]I heard the sound of the Floral Dance [01:06.74]And soon I heard such a bustling and prancing [01:08.87]And then I saw the whole village was dancing [01:10.98]In and out of the houses they came [01:12.77]Old folk young folk all the same [01:15.00]In that quaint old Cornish town [01:21.98]Every boy took a girl around the waist [01:24.01]And hurried her off in tremendous haste [01:25.44]Whether they knew one another I care not [01:27.85]Whether they cared at all I know not [01:30.41]But they kissed as they danced along [01:38.94]And there was the band with that curious tone [01:40.94]Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone [01:42.96]Fiddle cello big bass drum [01:44.97]Bassoon flute and euphonium [01:46.96]Each one making the most of his chance [01:48.91]All together in the Floral Dance [02:04.22]I felt so lonely standing there [02:06.99]And I could only stand and stare [02:09.75]For I had no boy with me [02:12.95]Lonely I should have to be [02:16.29]In that quaint old Cornish town [02:22.00]When suddenly hast'ning down the lane [02:23.75]A figure I knew I saw quite plain [02:25.51]With outstretched hands he came along [02:27.20]And carried me into that merry throng [02:29.40]And fiddle and all went dancing down [02:37.38]We danced to the band with the curious tone [02:39.31]Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone [02:41.32]Fiddle cello big bass drum [02:43.15]Bassoon flute and euphonium [02:44.97]Each one making the most of his chance [02:46.99]Altogether in the Floral Dance [02:48.82]Dancing here prancing there [02:50.76]Jigging jogging everywhere [02:52.68]Up and down and round the town [02:54.59]Hurrah for the Cornish Floral Dance [03:02.37]Hurrah for the Cornish Floral Dance
