Roll back the carpet, kick off your shoes
Take a turn around the floor and dance away your blues
These are the happy times my memory still recalls
When grandma sang and grandpa took the fiddle from the wall
Mom and dad would sweetly sing in perfect harmony
Friends would gather 'round the fire, so many there I'd see
Oh, happy days and happy nights my memory still recalls
When grandma sang and grandpa took the fiddle from the wall
Years may come and years may go, memories still stay clear
But when I think of mom and dad I sometimes shed a tear
But all those happy times we had soon makes me want to smile
I close my eyes and drift back then for just a little while
Watch them dance around the floor and listen to them sing
Friends would stand and clap their hands and some of them join in
Oh, happy days and happy nights my memory still recalls
When grandma sang and grandpa took the fiddle from the wall
Roll back the carpet, kick off your shoes
Take a turn around the floor and dance away your blues
These are the happy times my memory still recalls
When grandma sang and grandpa took the fiddle from the wall
Mom and dad would sweetly sing in perfect harmony
Friends would gather 'round the fire, so many there I'd see
Oh, happy days and happy nights my memory still recalls
When grandma sang and grandpa took the fiddle from the wall
Here we go!
