Leon Redbone - Dancin' On Daddy's Shoes

I couldn't believe this wasn't on youtube anywhere, so thought it was about time somebody shared it.

From the album 'Whistling in the Wind.' I do not own this. Property of Leon Redbone and August Records.

Lyrics:
There's nothing else I'd rather do
Than to sit around and talk to you
And reminisce about a simpler time
The music that we made
Was simple but it stayed
In my memory and
On my mind

Dancin' on daddy's shoes
Dancin' all around the room
Rollin' the rug up
kickin' our heels up
Dancin' away the blues
Sister would clap along
Everyone would sing a song
Playin' homemade music
dancin' on daddy's shoes

There's something bout this musty room
That makes me reel
Makes me swoon
That strange perfume is one of a kind
The rhythm takes me back
When I hear that razzmatazz
There's no nicer feeling that I can find

Dancin' on daddy's shoes
Memories you'll never loose
Dancin' away the blues

Sentimental memories
Dancin' on daddy' shoes

Dancin' on daddy' shoes

Dancin' on daddy's shoes
Dancin' all around the room
Rollin' the rug up
kickin' our heels up
Dancin' away the blues
Sister would clap along
Everyone would sing a song
Playin' homemade music
dancin' on daddy's shoes

Oh, dancin' on daddy's shoes

I've been looking for my dance with my dad at my Sweet 16, I think I found it!

People have strange ideas of who Leon Redbone is and where he comes from. His birth name is Dickran Gobalian, who came to Canada from Cyprus in the mid-1960s, in his teens. He started performing around Toronto and first came to the general public's attention in the 1970's. How a teenager from Cyprus came to be a performing historian of american music I do not know.

I love it! I've been looking for a song for a slide show for my dad since I'm moving five states away and this song fits him so well! :)
