Shall We Dance?

Oh, it's very exciting when you're young
When you're sitting on a small gilt chair
Your eyes lowered, terrified you'll be a wallflower
And then you see two black shoes, a white waistcoat, a face
It speaks

We've just been introduced, I do not know your way
But when the music started, something drew me to your side
So many men and girls are in each other's arms
It made me think we might be similarly occupied

Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say goodnight and mean goodbye?

Or perchance, when the last little star has left the sky
Shall we still be together with our arms around each other?
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen
Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we dance?"

Why do you stop?
It is pretty!
Go on, go on!
Oh, no, your Majesty, I didn't realize I was
Well after all, I'm not a dancing girl

In England, we don't, that is, a girl would not dance while a man is looking at her!
But you dance with strange men, holding hands, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera?
Yes, not always a strange man, sometimes a very good friend
Good
We dance together!
You show me, you teach me, teach!
Well, it's quite simple, the polka
You count one, two three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and

Shall we dance?
One, two, three, and
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
One, two three, and

Shall we dance?
One, two, three, and
Shall we then say goodnight and mean goodbye?
One, two, three, and

Or perchance, when the last little star has left the sky
Shall we still be together with our arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen
Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we dance?

One, two, three, and one, two, three, and
One, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three
Oh, what's wrong?
I know, I know, I forget "and"!
This time I remember

One, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and
That's splendid, your Majesty!
Splendid!
Ah, you have thrown me off count!
No, no, no
But this is not right
Not the way I see Europeans dancing tonight!

Yes, yes it was!
It was just like that!
No
We're not holding two hands like this
Well
No, no as a matter of fact
Was like this?
No?
Yes
Come!
