To see you dance would be a treat
Hips and hands and legs and feet
With all the joy your heart can feel
To our new song "Tween the Jigs and the Reels"- c'mon

You lads and lassies here tonight
To see you dance is a wonderful sight
You swirl and twirl and kick your heels
Spreading joy with your jigs and reels

Well the dance you're doin' is a lot like life
Back and forth and left and right
We get confused as to what we feel
With all that happens 'tween the jigs and the reels
Well I lost my job three weeks ago
The boss said: "Hate to see you go
Here's fifteen bucks for a couple of meals
You'll be fine, with your jigs and reels"

Well he didn't know how right he was
It got me mad and it woke me up
To a simple truth that'd been concealed
Life is what happens 'tween the jigs and the reels

You may be sober, may be drunk
But ponder this on which I've thunk
If life is such a dubious deal
How did we get these jigs and reels'

Well if the devil's on our trail tonight
He hopes we'll stumble in the dance of life
But we swirl and twirl and kick our heels
Well you can't catch me 'tween the jigs and the reels

Well you can't catch me 'tween the jigs and the reels
