Up the Creek

Tilbrook

It was now the only place open late
Playing loud music in questionable taste
She asked me to dance and I said: 'OK'
I slipped into the groove and was doing great.

We didn't say much, I gurned and grinned
She looked so fresh and there was me tinned
I said to her: 'Tell me about you'
She said: 'I know more than you think I do'.

Memories may be beautiful and yet
There are some things that I'd rather forget
Singing along with everything from Chic to Abba
It's probably time for me to do the decent thing and get a cab.

And blasting in my ears, it's 'Dancing Queen'
My co-ordination's fantastic and I'm looking older than I feel.

We danced for a while and though I'm chunky
It has never stopped me feeling funky
She mentioned someone from long ago
I said: 'What a surprise, do say: 'Hello[.And it put a stop to my dreamsWith me and her and custard creamsHer friends were leaving, they say she should comeShe said: 'I'll remember you to my Mum'.Memories may be beautiful and yetThere are some things that I'd rather forgetSinging along with everything from Abba to ChicI think it's probably time that I left Up The Creek.But meanwhile blasting in my ears, it's 'Dancing Queen'!
