He Danced In Dominic Mac's Star Ballroom

He danced in Dominic Mac's Star Ballroom where love stories began
Going back some five decades when he was a young man
In the days of the Beatles, Elvis Presley and Bill Haley's rock n roll
To those years down memory lane in time quite a long stroll

On Thursday night until 1 a m on the morning of Friday
To the sounds of the sixties he did twist, rock, jive and sway
And till the day he does die the good memories with him will stay
Of when in the Star Ballroom with the young nubile females of Cork and Kerry he danced his cares away

Of the Star Ballroom in Millstreet Town he has good memories to recall
It was there he met his first love a young Killarney beauty dark haired slender and tall
But like many first loves they did not become man and wife
They did go on different journeys in life

Ten times a grandfather with his Australian wife of forty five years
For the what used to be he has long shed his last nostalgic tears
And though in his early seventies time has become his foe
His memories often take him to the Star Ballroom five decades ago

He goes back the decades and many Seasons in time
To his early twenties in his life's prime
When in the Star Ballroom in Millstreet Town he did rock, jive, twist and sway
On a Thursday night till 1 a m on the morning of Friday.
