Led Zeppelin - Dancing Days Lyrics






Dancing days are here again
Summer evenings grow
I got my flower
I got my power
I got a woman who knows

I said it's alright
You know it's alright
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only
My one and only
Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident in the way you're wearing your clothes
Sippin' booze is precedent as the evening starts to glow

You know it's alright
I said it's alright
You know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only
My one and only
Is that the way it should start?
Dig

You told your mama I'd get you home
But you didn't say that I got no car
I saw a lion
He was standing alone
The tadpole in a jar

You know it's alright
I said it's alright
I guess it's all in my heart, heart, heart

You'll be my only
My one and only
Is that the way it should start?

So, dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
You are my flower
You are my power
You are my woman who knows

I said it's alright
You know it's alright
You know it's all in my heart

You'll be my only, yes
My one and only, yes
Is that the way it should start?
I know it is now

    I love this song and my Dad loves this band so do i

  11. b.... g....

    Getting stoned to this was my childhood 👍

  12. R.... t....

    I recently read in a book where Jimmy Page stated that when the band played together on stage, he felt like there was an imaginary fifth member on stage with them which sort of coalesced the others together musically..........a bit of musical alchemy perhaps ???

  13. J.... P....

    This takes me back to a part of my life I'm not particularly proud of. I'm not 20 any more.

  14. R.... S....

    I love this song. Always have since I bought this album in the 70s

  15. K.... o....

    Listening to Led Zep's 'Dancing Days' warms me up on this chilly, mid-November 2019 day.

  16. L.... G....

    I'd love to hear greta van fleet do this song

  17. E.... L....

    rattled by the rush

  18. B.... W....

    Wait a minute. This isn't Stone Temple Pilots!

  19. N.... F....

    The best of perfect

  20. D.... R....

    As a child, I used to put tadpoles in a jar. They always swam in water along the curb next to our house after a rain.

  21. e.... ....

    This album is my second favorite Zep album. Physical Graffiti is #1 though.

    R.... B....

    Rock & Roll has always been one of my favorite favorite songs from them. It's not a deep cut, but I know all of Zeppelin's music so I'm not just a radio fan lol. Something about that song and the pace of it. People always give accolades to Bonham, but they never mention that song. He is rockin on that track. My arms would fall off.

    R.... B....

    Misty Mountain Hop is one of those jams I just can't turn off. It has just the right pace to it and it rocks. It almost sounds like the song is structured differently than other songs. Not sure how else to explain it but I like it. Night Flight is another I can't turn off. Also, have you ever heard Royal Orleans from Zeppelin? It's an amazing song that many Zep fans don't know of. You might, but if you don't, check it out

  24. a.... d....

    Really in love

  25. k.... n....

    Imagery, poetry... dancing days

  26. M.... C....

    Temazo de los buenos, fiestero total!!!

  27. S.... B....

    This album cover keeps getting me BLOCKED on Facebook! Assholes.

  28. K.... C....

    You are my flower, you are my power.....

  29. K.... C....

    Always one of their best.......if not

  30. R.... G....

    Great song.

  31. B.... O....

    When I want to just rock my brain to pieces, when I just can’t take it any more, THIS is what I play! That rising intonation, that blaring guitar, wow! Blow my mind.

  32. O.... T....

    Get up off my back. Ain't no heart attack. Ain't nobody humpin' around!

  33. C.... P....

    haha why is the crunge blocked in my country

  34. F.... Y....

    Had a Zeppelin shirt made at a record shop to wear first day of school ( 5 th grade, ‘79) they spelt it Led Zepplin ! My mother went, paid and brought it home the day before school started. I was beyond livid when I saw it!!! But said fuck it! And wore it to school anyways. If I still had that shirt today I would wear it , most def wouldn’t fit but.... FUCK IT!! They are the BEST ensemble (ALL 4) ever, to JAM🤙🏻

  35. J.... S....

    Summer evenings grow in a boat on the lake- suppin booze is precedent!!!😎

  36. r.... l....

    The most underrated Led Zeppelin song?

  37. c.... ....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6acXfXjiYn4&t=38s

  38. S.... ....

    Any day can be a dancing day ... it's just a state of mind.

  39. g.... ....

    Good vibes on this tune.

  40. m.... p....

    wonderful!

  41. S.... J....

    So many memories :)

  42. V.... ....

    So, what about a cover?
    How about a photo of a load of naked little girls?
    Fuck off, are you a pervert?
    How about we take the picture on the Devil's Causeway?
    Works for me.




    Aaaah, the 70s......

  43. T.... ....

    The lyric is "I got a woman who knows" (a woman that knows things) _not_ "I got a woman, who knows" (like "I got a woman, who knows what comes next?"). Subtle but important difference.

  44. G.... L....

    1975 Cruising Pioneer Woods in Cook County Forest Preserves at Night listening to Zepp blasting from Speakers on car roofs .. jam packed Groves with Hundreds of Cars and Tons of People Partying Laughing like their was no Tomorrow at 9.00pm .. it seemed Surreal ! Like a Dream .. today it is silent !

  45. L.... S....

    Happy Summer Solstice my Led Zeppelin loving people.

    L.... S....

    Boomshanka...

  46. A.... R....

    Fuck Facebook for banning this cover!

  47. J.... B....

    facebook put me in jail for three day's! you ask what did you do now john?
    I posted the Led zepplen song no quarter from youtube,
    with the 1973 houses of the holy album cover!!!!!
    said it went agaist it's nutity standards....what the fuck?

  48. J.... D....

    best fucking song on the best Led zep album

    J.... D....

    No Quarter is great too

  49. J.... M....

    You listen to Bonham’s groove and it’s apparent that he is a genius in his ability to use economy with his Bass Drum. Very accentuated phrasing makes this number just bash ahead. You can’t play the drums like John could. Don’t kid yourself. You can’t.

  50. T.... S....

    4 minutes of definitive Led Zep, from their best album for me

  51. A.... G....

    Anyone else get Queens of the Stone Age vibes from this?

  52. S.... T....

    This is a spooky song I got my flower ( weed) I got my power!

  53. _.... s....

    La musica encaja al 100 con la imagen del video

  54. S.... C....

    Honestly I didn't know the Stone Temple Pilots version was a cover until I was driving to the hardware and the fact was mentioned on Lithium on SiriusXM. So yeah, guess you can thank Lithium for my presence here.

    S.... C....

    That's probably the best Zeppelin cover I've ever heard. (I'm a huge STP fan)

  55. M.... M....

    Wow!! I tried to post this on Facebook and it said it was "against their community standards"??? WTF????

    M.... M....

    Mike McQuaide They said because of the album cover!

    M.... M....

    Mike McQuaide welcome to the police state! This is bs.I glad I never went on Fakebook!

  56. M.... P....

    GvF sounds better than they used to...mh....

  57. G.... V....

    Recuerdo un viaje de trabajo con un grupo de desconocidos, compartiendo habitación con un puñado de personas. Yo en mi camarote escuchando Led Zeppelin, al llegar a este tema los audífonos se desenchufaron y la canción reemplazó el ruido del regueton que escuchaban mis compañeros de habitación, ellos inmediatamente comenzaron a reclamar por la bulla...
    Nunca había sentido tanta lástima por un grupo de seres humanos...
    Volví a conectar mis fonos y en mi mente le di gracias a mis hermanos por ser rockeros y presentarme esta banda hace ya tantos años atrás

    G.... V....

    Lastima por la música que otros escuchan y que no te gusta a ti? hombre, hay cosas peores que le ocurren a muchas personas para sentir lástima por la música que escuchan otros.
    Son solo gustos.

    G.... V....

    BUENA MUSICA NUNCA PASA

  58. H.... L....

    The most underated zep's song ever

    H.... L....

    @Rockk Witch one are you talking about ?

    H.... L....

    @Rockk That's your point, on both songs, but not mine :-)

    H.... L....

    @MIMHONEY dyer maker

    H.... L....

    @Rockk Go to bed, or to work, wherever you live, and byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    H.... L....

    @MIMHONEY you're stupid

  59. J.... S....

    Dancin' Days and Ocean!!! Both undaunted Zeppelin greatness!

  60. W.... D....

    I added this to my FB a few days back they deleted it. Said the cover display nudity and sexual content. Lol Times a changing .

    W.... D....

    Hey, Tumblr dinged me for a mother cat giving her kitten a bath for some reason.

    W.... D....

    They're not nude, they've simply given up fheir belongings to live in the wild with the jellyfish.

    W.... D....

    2 people said the same thing in the comments posting the cover display nudity in Facebook

    Saturday March 30, 2019.

    FB OVERZEALOUS CENSORSHIP IS OUT OF CONTROL AND GOING AFTER INDIVIDUALS IN PETTY VENDETTA!!
    - NOW YOU ARE PROVING YOURSELVES ASSHOLES BY CENSORING OLD ALBUM COVERS PICTURED IN SHARED YOUTUBE LINK POSTS (WHICH SEEMED TO PASS GOOGLE/YOUTUBE (AND FCC) STANDARDS JUST FINE)- AND WHICH BY THE WAY, DID NOT SHOW WHAT YOU OVERREACHED AND FALSELY - FALSELY ASSERTED!!

    And now because I helped someone which FB had UNRIGHTFULLY CENSORED on March 28, 2019: FB are proving themselves to be assholes by specifically going after me because of it.

    They apparently searched through the entire past year of my posts, and flagged a pictured Led Zeppelin Album Cover From a shared YouTube Music Video LINK Post. Which must have been shared about a full YEAR ago. (And which by the way, already passed Google/Youtube (AND FCC) standards or it would have been removed from YouTube by them).

    * Respecting an (government) establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof; NOR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. (Article 1. Bill of Rights)

    Moreover: as they assumedly had to search back Over A Years time Attempting to find Anything, (PROVING the point of it being a Personal Vendetta on their part). and the best they could come up with is Falsely flagging ME as though the originator of a YouTube Music Video Thumbnail Image of a Shared YouTube Link (So as to Not violate copyright. And which Thumbnail Images the FB user HAS NO CONTROL OVER CHANGING). Which Image I did Not create. (Their Bearing of False Witness Against Others.)

    In fact you can check the Wikipedia which you at FB are so fond of: That was the YouTube thumbnail image of an 1973 PLATINUM Album Cover, Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy done by Hipgnosis. Accolades: The Book of Rock Lists, Top 40 albums of 1973: #13. Grammy Award for best record package nominee 1974. “100 Greatest British Rock Album Ever” 2006 #90. "The Definitive 200: Top 200 Albums of All-Time" 2007 #51. “The 500 Greatest Albums of all time.” 2012 #51. "Top 100 Albums of the 1970s" 2004 #75. This album and its cover art (YouTube thumbnail) Long Publicly accepted (Including by the FCC and it’s Regulations) over ALL of these years.

    Your CENSORS problem is with THE MUSIC INDUSTRY and YOUTUBE and Not with me (just because they literally can’t keep it zipped for ANYTHING. Probably including tuberous vegetables such as pickles and Zucchini.)

    g.... ....

    ghos282 I'm sorry to hear this! I'm glad I never used Fakebook!

  62. J.... H....

    I literally wore the grooves off this record! No shit! That was a real thing. Also blue oyster cult secret treaties and a lot of other albums in the70s! We would go back and re purchase them, it happened! Peeeeece!

    J.... H....

    I hear ya, I would play some of my '45s so much they'd start turning white~ ah the good old days of black lights, incense & candles, just chillin'.

  63. E.... C....

  80. J.... R....

    Deep, complex and catchy. Incredibly satisfying music. What an amazing band.

    J.... R....

    For real❤!

  81. D.... J....

    The last line is "I know it isn't." after what you have.

  82. J.... B....

    Currently on an "LZ-binge" and listening to every one of thier albums, and in order, from LZ I through IV to Physical Graffiti and so on and ect, all the way through. And so anyway, I've always heard some of thier songs on the radio, from time to time while growing up, because my parents were playing it. But the thing is, I always loved THIER songs but without even KNOWING it. I just liked hearing them whenever my parents were listening to them, but I just never knew who the songs were being played by lol. So now that I've been listening to all of thier albums right now, I never knew that all of these great songs and classic hits that I've always heard as a kid while growing up WERE ALL BY THEM!! Wow. Had no idea that so many of these were by them until now. And NOT ONE single bad song. Incredible.

  83. D.... T....

    Little slide riff by Jimmy. Check out the live version on "how the west was one." Has some epic drumming by JB.

  84. M.... V....

    Love this tune. Cover suggests pedo-ism. Zepp is establishment? Never know. When $$$MONEY$$$ is king.... we never know.But, we're not idiots. Not all of us. Some.. maybe all get it?

  85. T.... A....

    Highly under-rated song....reminds me of my days in high school, and the fun we had, back in the '70's.

  86. K.... M....

    Houses of the Holy is one of there best behind #4

  87. f.... ....

    Shared this on Facebook a week or so ago and got reprimanded by the Facebook Police because of the album Photo. They took it down. They claimed the photo was of a sexual nature. How rediculous!

    f.... ....

    @ffas23 The same happened again to me for 30 days for the same cover....

    f.... ....

    RIdiculous.

    f.... ....

    Facebook is garbage. That and other so called "Social Media" are anti-social. They should be banned. So many people want to ban things all the time. Ban that shit I say.

    f.... ....

    Facebook, full of paedos, wackos & sickos. Wouldn't know art if it slapped em in the face.

    f.... ....

    What a sad age when the naked human form is considered obscene. This world needs healing big time

  88. L.... S....

    I just now got a notice from Facebook saying they blocked my post of this from August because of the album cover! But went on to say images of breastfeeding is ok but get this, they also said it's ok to show nude protesters. So it's ok to show some 50 year old feminist flashing her junk but not tasteful art. Fuck those Goddamned fascist assholes!!

  89. K.... T....

    Most band put out albums one after another with no hits on them. Zeppelin however had on all the albums they made maybe 5 songs total I don't listen to.  They were so amazing in the music making they just made hit after hit and really didn't copy the sound from one song to another just to put them on the shelves.  Best band ever.

  90. a.... l....

    Listening Zepp In Berlin !! Germany !

  91. J.... S....

    Dancing days of my youth. Great tune

  92. D.... Z....

    Imagine being 19 years old when your summer was filled with this.

    Definitely ahead of their time back then. There's no comparison to the "music" of Ugly B and company, Justin Beiber? What? Who is she?

  98. a.... y....

    What a guitar riff! Jimmy (God) Page

  99. g.... v....

    i think it's ok to say it once more BEST FUCKING BAND IN THE WORLD
