Get out old Dan's records
Get out old Dan's records
We will Dance the whole night long
It's fun to play the old time songs
If old Dan could see us now
I know he'd be so proud

Bring out old Dan's records
Bring out old Dan's records
I remember my aunt Bea
She'd dance with Dan till two or three
If old Dan could see he now
I know he'd shout out loud

Dig out old Dan's records
Bring out old Dan's records
We're all here, we've all got dates
We'll dance all night to the seventy-eights
If old Dan could see us now
I know he'd be so proud
If old Dan were with us still
I know he'd come around

Get out old Dan's records
Dig out old Dan's records
Back to nineteen thirty-five
The foxtrot, jitterbug 'n' jive
If old Dan could see us now
I know he'd be so proud

Get out old Dan's records
Bring out old Dan's records
High above the fireplace
There's a smile on old Dan's face
If old Dan could see us now
I know he'd be so proud
If old Dan were with us still
I know he'd come around

    This may be the only upbeat song Gordon ever did. And even it is in loving memory of a lost love one.

    I do wonder how many today know what a "78" is?
