Let the Little Girl Dance
Billy Bland 
Words and Music by Henry Glover and Carl Spencer
(peak Billboard position #7 in 1960)

lyrics in (parentheses) sung by backup group only)

(Little wallflower on the shelf, standing by herself)
(Never had the nerve to take a chance, so let the little girl dance)

Let the little girl dance, let the little girl dance
She never danced before so let her on the floor (so let her on the floor)
Let the little girl dance, let the little girl dance
She wants to give it a try, so let the little girl by (so let the little girl by)


She’s been a little wallflower on the shelf, standing by herself
Now she got the nerve to take a chance, so let the little girl dance


Let the little girl through, she wants to pass by you
Buddy, can’t you see she wants to dance with me (she wants to dance with me)

<long sax interlude>

She’s been a little wallflower on the shelf, standing by herself
Now she got the nerve to take a chance, so let the little girl dance
Let the little girl through, she wants to pass by you
Buddy, can’t you see she wants to dance with me (she wants to dance with me)

(Little wallflower on the shelf, standing by herself)
(Never had the nerve to take a chance)
Let the little girl dance (let the little girl dance)
