lyrics

Am G F F
I've been waiting my whole for this one night
this one night on the dance floor
I've been waiting my whole life for this one night
sweeping the dance floor


You used to dance like King Louis
Served me drinks by the glass washer machine
Soccer nights was good for your wallet
Jazz nights for your dreams

F G
Catch a cab home in the morning if the tip was good
F
But I always walked for the tram
G
To save the little I got from the man

Am G F F
You had that cold look
you stood by the bar
smoking that thing
distant, yet here, yet far
You wanted them to struggle, didn't you?
we talked about art
G F
and you said No one plays the jazz like Sidney Bechet
No one plays the jazz like Sidney Bechet

Am G F F
I've been waiting my whole for this one night
sweeping the dance floor
I've been waiting my whole life for this one night
this one night on the dance floor
