"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"
