Well here we go again a lively upbeat song  that makes your hear beat and mine! I think the song is called 'Cornish Floral  Dance'

Lyrics:

    As I walked home on a Summer night
    When stars in Heav'n were shining bright
    Far away from the footlight's glare
    Into the sweet and scented air
    Of a quaint old Cornish town

    Borne from afar on the gentle breeze
    Joining the murmur of the summer seas
    Distant tones of an old world dance
    Played by the village band perchance
    On the calm air came floating down

    I thought I could hear the curious tone
    Of the cornet, clarinet and big trombone
    Fiddle, 'cello, big bass drum
    Bassoon, flute and euphonium
    Far away, as in a trance
    I heard the sound of the Floral Dance

    And soon I heard such a bustling and prancing
    And then I saw the whole village was dancing
    In and out of the houses they came
    Old folk, young folk, all the same
    In that quaint old Cornish town
