For forty days and forty nights The law was on her side
                                                                                     
Am
Who could stand when she's in demand, Her schemes and plans
                                               
Em
Cause we dance on the floor     in the round
                              
Am                                                      C                   (Corda

My baby cried, his eyes      were like mine
                                                      
Em
Cause we dance on the floor in the round
