I've danced with a man, who's danced with a girl, who's danced with the Prince of Wales was a song written in 1927 by Herbert Farjeon at the height of the popularity of Edward, Prince of Wales -unprecedented to that date for an heir to the throne- later Edward VIII of the United Kingdom.
The girl who inspired the song was Edna Deane, a ballroom dancing champion.
I've danced with a man, who's danced with a girl, who's danced with the Prince of Wales.It was simply grand, he said "Topping band" and she said "Delightful, Sir"Glory, Glory, Alleluia! I'm the luckiest of femalesFor I've danced with a man, who's danced with a girl, who's danced with the Prince of Wales.My word I've had a party, my word I've had a spreeBelieve me or believe me not, it's all the same to me!I'm wild with exultation, I'm dizzy with successFor I've danced with a man, I've danced with a man-WhoWell, you'll never guessI've danced with a man, who's danced with a girl, who's danced with the Prince of Wales.I'm crazy with excitement, completely off the railsAnd when he said to me what she said to him -the Prince remarked to herIt was simply grand, he said "Topping band" and she said "Delightful, Sir"Glory, Glory, Alleluia! I'm the luckiest of females;For I've danced with a man, who's danced with a girl, who's danced with the Prince of Wales.The song was used as the theme for the 1978 ITV television series Edward & Mrs. Simpson.
