Em
D
I played a wedding for the money
and I wished I could have told
G
the bride and groom
A
Just what I think of marriage
and what's in store after their
D
G
Em
honeymoon
A
D
And I was grumbling to the dancers
about how men and women
G
ought to live apart
A
And how a promise never made
cannot be broken
D
and can never break a heart
Then suddenly from out of nowhere
G
a little girl came dancing across the floor
A
And all her crinolines were billowing
D
Beneath the skirt of calico that she wore
A
D
Oh, what a joy fell on the honored guests
As each one of them was
G
drawn into her dream
A
And they laughed, stamped,
clapped their hands,
and hollered at her,
D
Em
D
Dance, Little Jean.
G
And they said, Dance, Little Jean,
A

Two people you love

Dance, little gene, a prayer that you had

Was answered today,

your mama's marrying your dad
Well, my cinema heart just melted
Cause I figured what this

get -together meant

How it ended years of tears
and sad confusion
D

E
That the little girl had spent
D
A
D
An d he told the band to pack it up,

G
And we played dance, little Jean,
A
D
this day is for you

Two people you love stood up to say,
