Oh Frances just stop where you are Will you listen to us We're supposed to be friends So how come that each time we talk It ends up like this You say you're right and I say you're wrong 'Cause I'm sure I'm right And you say my logic is totally gone And the waltz continues Oh Frances be still for a while And I swear I won't say a word Come on now crack a smile You really have to laugh This is just so absurd Put on your coat there's a fair come to town I'll pay the man We'll spend the day on the merry go round And the waltz continues Our words light the blue paper Stand back! Fireworks, sparkle and crack! That's why I keep coming back I keep coming back My dear Frances deep down you know We're both right It's the world that's insane It's just dot to dot, the haves to have not But the men with the pencils Have sawdust for brains It's sad and it's funny, it's a joy And it's a groan Let's get some beers and go to the graveyard And laugh at the bones And the waltz continues And the waltz continues
