I went down to the dance Such clown by the wall Invited to dance By no one at all The couples danced fine So charming an' gay But nobody wants Look over my way So awfuly sad Dissatisfied I hurt so bad I almost cried Imagine my frustration with no Invitation to dance -Head high, standing tall Who else, who else could I be? But Ella, next to the wall, A fella who likes what they see?- -And then in my ear Someone said to me Wallflower, my dear, How come you cant see They couldnt care less They're not impressed As you might guessed You're in excess- Imagine my frustration with no Invitation to dance I smiled to the crowd -Tip toe and alert- Yes the band blues went loud But next on a flirt -A voice said to me Wallflower, my dear You're sweet as can be But how come you're here They couldn't less About your dress You're in a mess And in excess- Imagine my frustration with no Invitation to dance
