Say Yes to Heaven

When The World Was At War We Kept Dancing

Recommended Posts

(Verse 1)

Girls, don't forget your pearls

and all of your horses

as you make your way across the pond

Girls, don't forget your curls

and all of your corsets

memorize them in a little song

 

(Pre-chorus)

Shake it up, throw your hands up

and get loose, cut a rug

Lean into the fucking youth

Choreo, we just want the fucking truth

(Told by the fake news)

 

(Chorus)

Is it the end of an era?

Is it the end of America?

Is it the end of an era?

Is it the end of America?

No! It's only the beginning

If we hold onto hope

We'll have a happy ending

When the world was at war before

We just kept dancing

When the world was at war before

We just kept dancing

 

(Verse 2)

Boys, don't forget your toys

and take all of your money

If you find you're in a foreign land

Boys, don't make too much noise

and don't try to be funny

Other people may not understand

 

(Pre-chorus)

Shake it up, throw your hands up

and get loose, cut a rug

Lean into the fucking youth

Choreo, we just want the fucking truth

(Told by the fake news)

 

(Chorus)

Is it the end of an era?

Is it the end of America?

Is it the end of an era?

Is it the end of America?

No! It's only the beginning

If we hold onto hope

We'll have a happy ending

When the world was at war before

We just kept dancing

When the world was at war before

We just kept dancing

and we'll do it again

 

(Bridge)

Oh my god

Dizzy from loving you

Oh my god

Dizzy from loving you

Dizzy from, Dizzy from loving you

When the world was at war

 

(Chorus)

Is it the end of an era?

Is it the end of America?

Is it the end of an era?

Is it the end of America?

When the world was at war before

We just kept dancing

When the world was at war before

We just kept dancing

and we'll do it again

and we'll do it again

OMG DID SNIPPETS LEAK THESE LYRICS SLAY


I'm in love with the green on the grass and the trees, the scent of my sidewalks perfumed by the rain/ I'm in love with the tunes that colored my youth/ and the smudges of autumn that spill through the pane/I'm in love, just in a different way/ and that's okay.

Realized the line is actually "memorize a little song"! 

 

Girls don't forget your curls

and all of your corsets

memorize them in a little song

 

Has to be one of her best lines in my opinion


I think it's "cut a rug" by the way. That phrase was used a lot when referring to the jitterbug- a dance that was especially popular throughout WWII.

 

it's "cut a rug, lean into the fucking youth"

THANK YOU! Had never heard of the term before :P
