Rub your eyes and look again
Bm F#m
Facial features take the strain
Em F#m Bm
But don't back-a-don't back away
Idle hours lose their charm
They won't do you any harm
If you don't back-a-don't back away

They won't appreciate your long experience

Working dance halls on your own
D C D
They can't mechanize the song and dance brigade
D C
They'll only notice when we've gone

It's over today, it's over today
it's over today, it's over today
Em F#m Em F#m Bm
But don't back-a-don't back-a-don't back-a-don't back away
See that twinkle in your eyes
Precious moments never die
So don't back-a-don't back away
In the time that you've been on
E generation's come and gone
So don't back-a-don't back away
They won't recognize ...
