The Night The Floor Fell In
Composer(s): Ken Wheeley
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band
Charlie and his missus were a happy-go-lucky pair
They threw a party every Saturday night
With all of their relations, like the league of nations there
It nearly always ended in a fight
But there was one occasion on which they did agree
And then they brought the house down with their joviality
They danced the boomps-a-daisy
And then the palais glide
They did the hokey-cokey
And laughed until they cried
And when they had a knees-up
And everyone joined in
The only night they never fell out
The blinkin floor fell in
Oh my, it wasnt half a do
With everybody happy
Though they were black and blue
Oh my, it really was a sin
The only night they never fell out
The night the floor fell in
Now Mrs. Brown was bending
To button up her shoe
Just then the carpet parted
And she went sailing through
They heard her saying after
She put her teeth back in
The only time they ever fell out
The blinkin floor fell in
Oh my, it wasnt half a do
With everybody happy
Though they were black and blue
Oh my, it really was a sin
The only night they never fell out
The night the floor fell in
An old cowpoke was sleeping
Down in the room below
A-dreamin of the dogies
And cows he used to know
And then the ceiling opened
He got an awful fright
He said, Them riders in the sky
Is ridin low tonight
Oh my, it wasnt half a do
With everybody happy
Though they were black and blue
Oh my, it really was a sin
The only night they never fell out
The night the floor fell in
Now Charlie learnt his lesson
Like all good men and true
When he was at a party
He knew just what to do
If anyone was fighting
He covered up his chin
And for a dance he padded his pants
In case the floor fell in
Oh my, it wasnt half a do
With everybody happy
Though they were black and blue
Oh my, it really was a sin
The only night they never fell out
I wondered what all the noise was about
The only night they never fell out
The night the floor fell in
