Merryflat Waltz
Merryflat Waltz: A Whiskey-Fueled Dance of Stories and Saturday Nights
Lyrics
When the works all done in the evening
Describing the completion of work in the evening.
Or the rain is coming down
Referencing rainy weather.
You can find us in the school
People gather at the school.
Cause we're all too far from town
Highlighting the remoteness from town.
When the drinks begin to flowing
When drinks start being served.
And the Blacks walk through the door
Reference to people entering (Blacks).
You'll hear a tune that is special to us
Anticipation of a special tune.
As everyone heads for the floor
People getting ready to dance.
We call it the Merryflat waltz
Naming the dance as the Merryflat waltz.
You can hear it through the walls
The music is audible outside.
When we're all gathered here and we're drinkin some beer
Describing a gathering with beer.
You'll hear the Merryflat Waltz
The dance becomes evident.
When Roger begins telling stories
When Roger shares stories.
And Scotts drinks are ice cold
Scott's drinks are mentioned.
Get ready for some dancing
Indication to prepare for dancing.
Especially when Steve Earl comes on
Steve Earl's music prompts dancing.
This is just the beginning
Emphasizing the beginning of a night without a last call.
Of a night with no last call
Reference to Denton's playful actions.
And when Denton strips down and starts splashing around
Mentioning the Merryflat waltz again.
You'll hear the Merryflat waltz
Encouraging dancing during Denton's antics.
We call it the Merryflat waltz
Reiteration of the dance's name.
You can hear it through the walls
Music audible through the walls.
When we're all gathered here and we're drinkin some beer
Describing a gathering with beer again.
You'll hear the Merryflat Waltz
Repeating the mention of the Merryflat Waltz.
If no horses are traded
Stating conditions for a quiet night.
And no one gets in a fight
Emphasizing the importance of avoiding fights.
The whiskey stays in the bottle
Mentioning whiskey staying untouched.
What a waste of a Saturday night
Expressing disappointment for a wasted Saturday night.
Cause Clay's bound to leg wrestle Bodie
Expecting Clay to engage in leg wrestling with Bodie.
And someone will stumble and fall
Anticipating someone stumbling and falling.
So the drinks are on me, I'm just here to see
Offering drinks to witness the Merryflat Waltz.
The band play the Merryflat waltz
Emphasizing the band playing the Merryflat Waltz.
We call it the Merryflat waltz
Reiteration of the dance's name.
You can hear it through the walls
Music audible through the walls again.
When we're all gathered here and we're drinkin some beer
Describing a gathering with beer once more.
You'll hear the Merryflat Waltz
Repeating the mention of the Merryflat Waltz.
We call it the Merryflat waltz
Reiteration of the dance's name.
You can hear it through the walls
Music audible through the walls again.
When we're all gathered here and we're drinkin some beer
Describing a gathering with beer once more.
You'll hear the Merryflat Waltz
Repeating the mention of the Merryflat Waltz.
You'll hear the Merryflat Waltz
Encouraging dancing to the Merryflat Waltz.
You'll dance to the Merryflat Waltz
Final encouragement to dance to the Merryflat Waltz.
