Time to change partners, again (IV) (V) (VII)
This is how most of our ladies grew up
At the country club dances, they learned how to handle the boys
Gently but firmly they learned to say no
There were four more young men who were waiting in the color and the noise
All of the ladies attending the ball
Are requested to gaze at the faces under dance cards
Please then remember and follow your list
'Cause the dear things get hurt and the broken hearts make you feel hard
