Dirty Dancing

The love of my life when I was a kid Came by my house this morning We used to dance the afternoons away with Kylie Back when the nineties were dawning The love of my life when I was a kid Used to write me the sweetest letters And one night he shot a couple of birds in a pool Thought it was to impress me He was my older brother�s friend and had a light around him that would chase off any winter He had no father and his mother seemed younger than ours And he was a dancer He had the keys to a place where we could practice It felt almost like Dirty Dancing Minus the United States and instead of a resort it was the Folkets Hus basement Aaahhh Well then I became a singer and he became a chimney sweep And a hunter and a father of two so far I got a grand piano and a house with a chimney And this morning he came by to sweep it And we sat on the steps to the house listening To the birds of the coming spring singing He said �get up on the roof and put up a net, or they will build a nest in your chimney� And when I touched his sweepers arm with my piano fingers He said �watch Frida, your hands will get dirty� And I felt like I had a fever The dark powers, the mayflowers The roads on which we travel How he told me no and how my young heart broke And how a cold new world unravelled I guess you do the dirty now and I do the dancing And once we were Baby and Johnny In a small boring town where the winters were long And our real names were Frida and Jimmy Aaahhh
