[Intro]
G C G/B G D/F# G
 
[Verse]
    G                         C  G
The school Christmas party is coming
                          C
We ain't doing rugby no more
               D          G  Em
MacIntyre's teaching us waltzing
G          C/G       G     C/G
out on the gymnasium floor
G          C/G       G
out on the gymnasium floor
G                      C  G
MacIntyre's out of the army
                                  C
You'll be slippered if you get it wrong
                D/F#
And MacIntyre's din
      G           Em
booms loud in the gym
          G            C/G           G   C/G
and we've only got our little shorts on
      G             C/G          G
We've only got our little shorts on
 
[Chorus]
         C/G
And it's one, two, three, two, two -
         G
we're all a disgrace
                     C
MacIntyre's tore us apart
And we danced with ourselves
             G        C
when we'd all found a space
G             C/G         G      C/G
waltzing with fear in our hearts
G             C/G         G
waltzing with fear in our hearts
 
[Instrumental]
G C G/B C D/F# G
 
[Verse]
          G                   C  G
Comes the day of the final manoeuvres
                            C
All of our heads are awhirl
                  D         G  Em
It's getting much closer to D-day
G                        C/G        G    C/G
This time we're going to do it with girls
G                        C/G        G
This time we're going to do it with girls
        G                    C   G
In the arena the ladies were waiting
                         C
a 12 year-old partner to guide
                   D/F#
Some matches were fixed
    G          Em
the rest of us mixed
      G            C/G         G   C/G
and a fat girl got left at the side
  G            C/G         G
A fat girl got left at the side
 
[Chorus]
         C/G
And it's one, two, three, two, two -
         G
we're all a disgrace
                     C
MacIntyre's tore us apart
And we danced with ourselves
             G        C
when we'd all found a space
G             C/G         G      C/G
waltzing with fear in our hearts
G             C/G         G
waltzing with fear in our hearts
 
[Instrumental]
G C G/B C D/F# G
 
[Bridge]
           C
When you come to my fights
          G
and I'm under the lights
                                C
and you see that my footwork is false
don't count me out
        G               C
at the start of the bout
         G         C/G       G    C/G
I'm just doing the Secondary Waltz
G         C/G       G
doing the Secondary Waltz
 
[Outro]

On the big final manoeuvre, all of our heads are a whirl
Getting much closer to the deep thing

In the arena the ladies are waiting
A twelve year old girl for a bride
The matches were fixed, somehow we mixed
And the fat girl got left on the side
The fat girl got left on the side.

Well you come to my right, and I am under the light
                  G/B          C
See that my footwork is false
                                 G              C
Don't count me out, the start of the bow
            Bm                 C
I'm just doing secondary waltz
Am                  D
