She was just a Gypsy girl
Round the campfire she would twirl
Spinning, whirling, twirling as she danced the night away
Faster-faster-faster-faster
Round and round and round she'd go
Onward-onward-onward-onward
Dancing heel to toe.
All the time the flames grow higher
as she danced all through the night
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Dancing all the night away
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Never dancing slow
She was just an Orphan Annie, had no daddy and no mummy
Only thing she really knew was how to get along.
Faster-faster-faster-faster
Round and round and round she'd go
Onward-onward-onward-onward
Dancing heel to toe.
All the time the flames grow higher
as she danced all through the night
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Dancing all the night away
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Never dancing slow
Meanwhile...
Up went the flame-shot like magnesium
Post-Apollonian, Pre-Dionysian
Back with the left leg, over with a right
Fast to the rhythm of the fire light.
Faster-faster-faster-faster
Round and round and round she'd go
Onward-onward-onward-onward
Dancing heel to toe.
All the time the flames grow higher
as she danced all through the night.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Dancing all the night away.
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Never dancing slow.
Luh, luh-luh-luh-luh, luh-luh-la
Luh, luh-luh-luh-luh, luh-luh-la
Luh, luh-luh-luh-luh, luh-luh-la
Luh-luh, luh-luh, la
All the time the flames grow higher
as she danced all through the night.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Dancing all the night away.
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Never dancing slow.
Faster-faster-faster!
Round-and-round-and-rounder!
Go-go-go-go-go-girl!
Faster-faster-faster!
Round-and-round-and-rounder!
Round and round she'd go!
