Description
A song about laughing your cares away...about not letting life get you down. No, we haven't been doing this song for 37 years, we just say that. I only wrote it last March. A real crowd pleaser. Make up your own verses! Sing and laugh your cares away!
Lyrics
It's time to dance And time to sing, It's time for us to play. Dance and sing the night away until the break of day. Leave your troubles at the door, We don't want no more. Talkin', laughin, chatting, smilin, This we do implore. Welcome to the party barn, Let your heart be glad. In this place fun reigns supreme, There is no sad or mad. My hound dog don't hunt no more, 'cause he's getting old. But he barks all through the night, so I have to scold. Give him water. Give him food, give petting too. Show him where the quarry's at, But what he gonna do? Your hound dog is getting old, Better leave him be. Tonight's the night for fun and laughing, and we should be dancing. My old boat has a hole, Down upon the deck. I went fishin yesterday, and almost went to heck. It's on the bottom of the lake, Fish are swimmin through That hole that's sittin in my boat What am I to do? Take your troubles fling'em far far into the deep. Tonight's the night for having fun, Not the night to weep. My old truck wont start at all, The battery is dead. I was workin under hood and then I banged my head. Got a new one, put it in, But oh well, alas, I tried to start my truck up then, but I was out of gas. Your old truck ain't here right now, learn this lesson well. Tonight's the night for having fun, your heart with gladness swell. My fishin' pole done broke at last, The fish it was much bigger, I tried to shoot it with my gun, But I jammed the trigger. So I got my bow and arrow, And I drew a bead. I missed the fish, he swam away, my skill he did exceed. That old fish is gone away, Try to let it go. Tonight's the night for havin' fun, 'Cause we said it's so. Some of you are sitting there, not making a sound. Don't let life's troubles get you down, Swing your partner round. Kiss her softly, catch her eye, use that magic word. Treat her right and hold her tight She'll make the sweetest sounds you've ever heard. Grab your partner, swing around, dance the night away. Keep on shufflin all night long, till the break of day. This square dance goes on and on, And it never ends. Joy and happiness abounds, Take it to your friends. Tell your loved ones every day, That you love'em so. Keep'em close inside your heart and never let'em go. Keep square dancing every night in your heart of hearts. Keep your eye upon the light, and you'll the darkness thwart. I just gotta say that every day... You've got to keep square danciiiiiiiiiiiiiin'!
