For Euan Abercrombie and Stewart Ackerley. Piano by me, which was surprisingly less rusty than I anticipated. The full names of the characters mentioned in this one are: Kevin Whitby, Graham Pritchard, Kenneth Towler, Geoffrey Hooper, Harold Dingle, and Eddie Carmichael.
lyrics
“Hey Stewart,” Euen said, “have you thought at all
About who you want to take to dance at the Yule Ball?”
Stewart blushed and then replied, “If it’s all the same,
I haven’t had a chance to ask, so I won’t say his name.”
Euan thought a minute, wondering aloud:
“Owen Cauldwell, Theo Nott? No, they don’t like crowds...
Davey Gudgeon? Kevin? Graham?” Stewart just turned red
“Kenneth, Geoffrey, Harold, Eddie?” he then guessed instead
Chorus:
Oh, all right, dance with me
Dance the whole night through
Dance with me so I can be the one to dance with you
Let me take your hand
We’ll go into the night
Dance with me, dear Euen, and it’ll be all right
Euen grinned and pumped his fist, Stewart in his arms
Thinking of the hours spent practicing in Charms
He raised his wand, swish and flick, his heart began to soar
Going out with Stewart? He wanted nothing more
Oh, all right, dance with me
Dance the whole night through
Dance with me so I can be the one to dance with you
Let me take your hand
We’ll go into the night
Dance with me, dear Euen, and it’ll be all right
