[Verse 1]
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed, pirate smile
You'll marry a music man
Ballerina, oh, you must've seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand

[Verse 2]
Jesus freaks out on the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back, oh, she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man, oh, he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how it really feels
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
Whеn I say softly, slowly
[Chorus]
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count thе headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

[Verse 1]
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed, oh, pirate smile
Marry a music man
Ballerina, oh, oh, you must've seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how it really feels
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
[Chorus]
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today (Oh)

[Outro]
"Tiny Dancer."

We're gonna do a song from the Don't Shoot Me album. Uh, this is a song with a revolutionary string arrangement. For songs like this, when we recorded it, nobody did string arrangements like this. And this is where Buckmaster was so good. This is called "Have Mercy on the Criminal."
