Copy wright—1776 A-IIEM Music by Hictor Yerbert Words by A. Nutt Part One I SPURNETH TEMPTATION I’ve got an invitation to a dance But 1 don’t think I’ll go I’ll be sorry I know I’m afraid I might flunk And I sure would be sunk If I didn’t pass. I’ve got an invitation to a dance It’s the school’s big affair All the kids will be there What should I do, Sit at home and be blue, Or flunk all my tests? I don’t want to be a sissy If I’m not there they’ll call me a prude. But maybe if I keep up my reputation My graduation dream will be stewed! I’ve got an invitation to a dance I could trust it to fate But it might be too late Oh, I guess it’s the bunk To care if I flunk But ten years is a mighty long time. Part Two VICTORY IS MINE! I believe in miracles Strange as that may be I never passed a test before I’ll never even try no more I’ve passed! I’m free! Hope can work a miracle Right before your eyes Alas, I thought I’d cram again And then a brilliant idea came To learn it! Surprise! Some magical power suggested A new, untried course In one magical hour, I learned of this unheard source! I believe in miracles It worked, and so you see It really is a wondrous thing Let’s laugh and dance and shout and sing. We’re passed! We’re free! (P.S. My brethern, (and sistren) Let not the similarity of these hems to a couple of songs (named ”An invita¬ tion to a dance” and believe in Miracles”) deter your conscience from the joyful singing of them in sincere religious unity. Join in and let not your hearts be sad! Amen
