Apologetix Dancing Dave Lyrics

Parody of "Dancing Days" by Led Zeppelin
(2 Samuel 6:12-23)

Dancing Dave is here again
And he somehow leaves me cold
And from my tower, my love grows sour
‘cause I'm his woman, you know?
He's in the spotlight, I said it's not right
To dance with all of your heart
The Lord is holy -- not rock and rolly
Least that's the way I was taught
Davey where's your etiquette?
Well, you're barely wearing your clothes
If you use a circus tent
You could even start up a show.
You know it's not right, not very polite
You know you're fallin' apart.
You're bein' ornery but more importantly
Get out of the way of the ark! I saw you jumpin' and gettin' down
But I'm here to tell you I'll have no part.
I'm not the kind of queen that dances around
Like a bad girl in a bar.
You know it's not right, it isn't godlike
To dance with all of your heart
You need my loyalty, might lose your royalty
Unless you make a new start"
Dancing Dave was innocent
And as some of you may know
His wife Michal was to wind up childless
Because she wounded him so
I said it's all right; he had some more wives
But there's a point to this part
So read the manual in Second Samuel
In chapter six you should start!
