Taking time to sing a song
silly and and a bit sad
whenever I get to feeling bad
letting the blues take me along
Jukebox mix fills the night
and a tall whiskey fills the glass
tapping my toe and eyeing a fair lass
wondering if we'll get it right
Weekends are the time for finding out
seeing what the possibilities are like
tell your weekdays to take a hike
its time for you and life to have a bout
Dance to a tune as she laughs with you
dine her fair and treat her nice
for a gentleman always pays the price
and only resorts to an Irish lie or two

Nice one.
Weekends are not the same
when the silver turns to Grey
not the same thoughts of dancing
rarely come my way
Thoughts of dates long gone dormant
dancing on canes not to pleasant
but dancing to the muse is sweet
in my mansion retreat.
In Las Vegas I saw, the lame dance
and have a ball, while Tony Orlando belted
out the tunes, old gents left wheelchairs
to kick up their heels, with a pretty young lady
swaying away.
He danced until he was out of breath, then quickly
sat in his chair and took a good hit
from his oxygen tank hooked to his chair
he looked quite content sitting there.
