Words and Music by: CHRIS FRYE & ADRIAN DOLAN (SOCAN)
Step inside step inside go on get yourself get yourself inside Step inside go on get yourself get yourself inside Step inside go on get yourself inside that hallowed hall
Turn north into the Slocan Valley You’ll find what soothes your soul They’re dodging the draft making god’s eye crafts And dancing at the Valican Whole
And you can swing round to the right Another myth a dancehall legend being written here tonight And it’s alright
The sun’s still high when the last boat sails For the lure of Hornby Isle Is it Joe King Park or the hall after dark Or at Olsen’s Farm they’re bowing double file
And they speak of the mystique At Helliwell you can tell when the dance is going to peak
So step inside step inside The floor is true the stage is tried go on get yourself inside Step inside step inside The floor is true the stage is tried go on get yourself inside That hallowed hall
The white eagle crest floats in on the mist While the breakwater shakes up on high And the pairs sashay to a wild Virginia Reel With the Poles and the preachers standing by
And you can swing round to the right Another myth a dancehall legend being written here tonight
So step inside step inside The floor is true the stage is tried go on get yourself inside Step inside step inside The floor is true the stage is tried go on get yourself inside That hallowed hall
