Matthew 5:13-16, Matthew 23:1-7
Luke 18:9-14
When the dancers took to the promenade
Well my heart leapt high
And I was unafraid
Of the feeling I'd stifled for so many years
Tell me how do you
How do you feel
Well the band took their places and got all in
tune
And then the caller's voice
Well it rang out beneath the moon
And then the boys took their girls and they
started to reel
And they were singin' how do you, how do you feel
And then the people in the town said that they'd
call the police
If we didn't keep down all this disturbin' their
peace
And Officer Black, you know he answered their
pleas
And he ran up on the hill just to see
Well he hid in the bushes just a stone's throw
away
And then we all saw this change comin' over his
face
But he was bouncin' to the beat and started
hoppin' on his heels
Singin', how do you do, how do you feel
And then the townspeople asked him if he'd make
some arrests
Could they find peace and quiet so they could go
back to bed
He said if it's peace that you want, you're gonna
find it on the hill
But the silence that you keep is the silence that
kills
So the townspeople all got so uptight and mad
You know they fired him on the spot
And then they threw away his badge
Then they asked him to leave and he said gladly I
will
They said tell us now how do you feel
He said, when the dancers took to the promenade
Well my heart leapt high and I was unafraid
Of the feeling I'd stifled for so many years
Tell me how do you, how do you feel
