I was dancing with Mary she’s just an old flame
She was dancing with Kevin who’s never the same
He was dancing with Amy who threw him away
She was dancing with David and hoping he’d stay

David got married and now goes to work
He’s married to Susie who thinks he’s a jerk
And Susie she’s dancing to TV at nine
They’re dancing with danger and staying alive

Get married and buried in suburban life
Find yourself a husband or wife
Hang in the backyard cutting the grass
You’re going to be bored pretty freaking fast

Now Susie he’s moving and she’s getting divorced
And David he’s laid off from the working force
And Amy she’s stagnant as the boss’ girl
But if she sees Kevin she’s going to hurl

Get married and buried in suburban life
Find yourself a husband or wife
Hang in the backyard cutting the grass
You’re going to be bored pretty freaking fast

I’m still dancing with Mary (repeated)
