Down in San Antone
the place I call my own
they have some real bear dance down there.
I've seen them all.
Not hard at all.
The music seems to lead your feet.
It is danced each night
until the broad day light.
You never danced like that before.
Just get your honey babe
Take her out on the floor.

That Texas Prance, Texas Prance
In the school or in the college
that's the most important knowledge,
now's your chance,
learn that dance,
do it if you want to win
a home in Texas.
Texas Prance, oh that dance,
Grab the first gal
that is near you,
down in Texas they will steer you.
Slide, glide call her your own,
when you dance in San Antone.

That Texas Prance, Texas Prance
In the school or in the college
that's the most important knowledge,
now's your chance,
learn that dance,
do it if you want to win
a home in Texas.
Texas Prance, oh that dance,
Grab the first gal
that is near you,
down in Texas they will steer you.
Slide, glide call her your own,
when you dance in San Antone.

At a barber's ball
ot ar a big dance hall,
you'll find that dance played off the board
that melody.
It keeps you standing on your toes.
Society.
Ev'ry where I go
it seems to haunt me so.
I see that dance before my eye.
I know my heart would break
if to stop it they'd try.

That Texas Prance, Texas Prance
In the school or in the college
that's the most important knowledge,
now's your chance,
learn that dance,
do it if you want to win
a home in Texas.
Texas Prance, oh that dance,
Grab the first gal
that is near you,
down in Texas they will steer you.
Slide, glide call her your own,
when you dance in San Antone.

That Texas Prance, Texas Prance
In the school or in the college
that's the most important knowledge,
now's your chance,
learn that dance,
do it if you want to win
a home in Texas.
Texas Prance, oh that dance,
Grab the first gal
that is near you,
down in Texas they will steer you.
Slide, glide call her your own,
when you dance in San Antone.
