Penny Arcade (KDM 101) Chris Froggatt (Roy Orbison) 1969

BASIC 2

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Sides Face Grand Square

A light, shone in the night, somewhere ahead

Blue, turning to green, and then it was red Circle Left

And, stirring the night, love music played

Allemande Left, Promenade

The light, that shone in the night, was the penny arcade

FIGURE

Heads Promenade, go 3/4 round the ring

Side 2 will do the Right & Left Thru

Double Pass Thru, 1^st 2 Left, Next 2 Right

Make a Line, go Forward Up & Back

Star Thru, Square Thru 3 hands and then

Corner Swing, Promenade around and then

It played and it played, played all the time

Roll up and spend your last dime

 MIDDLE BREAK

Sides Face Grand Square

First, I thought it a dream that I was in

Lost, lost in a sea of glass and tin Circle Left

So, dipping my hand, in the back of my jeans

Allemande Left, Promenade

I grabbed a handful of coins, to feed those machines

CLOSER

Circle Left

Step up and play each machine seemed to say

As I walked round and round the penny arcade

Men Star by the Right, once around tonight

Allemande Left and Weave around that Ring

And the music played, round the penny arcade

Swing and Promenade

It played and it played, it played all the time,

Roll up and spend your last, roll up and spend your last

Roll up and spend your last dime

ORIGINAL LYRICS

A light shone in the night somewhere ahead
Blue turned into green, then it was red.
And, stirring the night, loud music played
The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade.

"Step up and play," each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the penny arcade.
"Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
And you'll make all the coloured lights cascade."

And music played in the penny arcade.
Yes, it played and it played, played all the time
"Roll up and spend your last dime!"

At first I thought it a dream that I was in.
Lost, lost in a sea of glass and tin.
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans,
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machines.

"Step up and play," each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the penny arcade.
"Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
And you'll make all the coloured lights cascade."

"Step up and play," each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the penny arcade.
"Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
And you'll make all the coloured lights cascade."

"Roll up and spend your last dime!
Roll up and spend your last,
Roll up and spend your last,
Roll up and spend your last dime!"
