Shall We Dance?
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say good night and mean goodbye?
I expect every one
In my crowd to make fun
Of my proud protestations of faith in romance,
And they'll say I'm naive
As a babe to believe
Any fable I hear from a person in pants.
Fearlessly I'll face them and argue their doubts away.
Loudly I'll sing about flowers and spring.
Flatly I'll stand on my little flat feet and say,
Love is a grand and a beautiful thing!
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say good night and mean goodbye?
Or perchance
When the last little star has left the sky,
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
I'm as trite and as gay
As a daisy in May,
A cliché coming true!
I'm bromidic and bright
As a moon-happy night
Pouring light on the dew.
I am in a conventional dither
With a conventional star in my eye,
And you will note
There's a lump in my throat
When I speak of that wonderful guy.
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say good night and mean goodbye?
Or perchance
When the last little star has left the sky,
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
We've just been introduced,
I do not know you well;
But when the music started,
Something drew me to your side.
I know you wanna dance
Tell me, shall we fly?
One, two, three, and—
One, two, three
One, two, three, and—
One, two, three, and—
One, two, three, and—
One, two, three
One, two, three, and—
One, two, three
One, two, three, and—
One, two, three
One, two, three, and—
One, two, three
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna fly?
I expect every one
In my crowd to make fun
Of my proud protestations of faith in romance
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly? (Ooo - shall we dance?)
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say good night and mean goodbye? (Shall we dance?)
Or perchance
When the last little star has left the sky,
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say good night and mean goodbye?
I expect every one
In my crowd to make fun
Of my proud protestations of faith in romance,
And they'll say I'm naive
As a babe to believe
Any fable I hear from a person in pants.
Fearlessly I'll face them and argue their doubts away.
Loudly I'll sing about flowers and spring.
Flatly I'll stand on my little flat feet and say,
Love is a grand and a beautiful thing!
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say good night and mean goodbye?
Or perchance
When the last little star has left the sky,
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
I'm as trite and as gay
As a daisy in May,

On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?

Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
