[Chorus 1]
I wish someone would bring back the waltzes
Like the Blue Skirt, the Westphalia too
I wish someone would bring back the waltzes
And the dance steps that we used to do

[Verse 1]
Now you're either too fast or you're too slow for me
Though I like all the words that you say
I grew up a-dancing the waltzes
And you don't play no waltzes today

[Chorus 2]
I wish someone would bring back the waltzes
Like me and old Bob used to do
I wish someone would bring back the waltzes
And the dance steps that we used to do

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Most of the young people think I'm a square
'Cause waltz music sure turns me on
Now it's not that I want all the music to change
I'm sad that the waltzes are gone
[Chorus 1]
I wish someone would bring back the waltzes
Like the Blue Skirt, the Westphalia too
I wish someone would bring back the waltzes
And the dance steps that we used to do
I wish someone would bring back the waltzes
