The Man Who Refused to Dance

Excuse me, darlin', I couldn't help but notice
That you were looking my way
Am I mistaken, or were you just fakin'
That smile you put on your face?

I won't ask if you'd like to dance
Even though I think you're pretty and all that stuff
'Cause I can't dance and I won't give you the chance
The chance to call my bluff

But I'd really like to take you to dinner
We could see a show or two
I hear them moving pictures are really something to see
Well, darlin', so are you

Theresa, my darlin', we've been together
For quite a long time now it seems
But oh, when you look at me, what is it you see?
Do you see the man of your dreams?

I ask because I've loved you as long as I've known you
And I have now for three whole months
Theresa, I swear to thee that, if you marry me
I'll dance with you at least once

But before you answer, let me be clear
When I say "at least once" I mean this
That I will dance with you on our wedding day
And then never again
Please say "yes"
