VERSE 01: Oh! Listen to that melody,/Your dancing eyes are tempting me | |
/The band ought to play on forever,/While we two are dancing together./My heart just seems to syncopate,/I know I’ve met my dancing fate | |
/A feeling new,/Thrills me thru,/Can’t resist, I must dance with you.VERSE 02: You are my dance affinity,/We move in perfect harmony | |
/And while we step to the metre, I ask you “what could be sweeter?”/Tho’ I have danced with many more,/It never seemed like this before | |
/And soon we’ll ride,/Side by side,/A dancing fool with his dancing bride.CHORUS: Come on and dance,/I feel so happy | |
/Come on and dance,/We’ll make it snappy!/Now don’t refuse,/My sweet and pretty | |
/Oh! Oh! Come on, let’s go!/So put your feet,/With me in motion | |
/We’ll roll along,/Just like the ocean | |
/’Cause in my head, I’ve got a notion,/You’ll marry a dancing fool./come and cuddle up and I’ll whisper something to you./I’ve a feeling that I’m falling, honey, for you./Say the word and soon we’ll have a wonderful honeymoon. | |
