Steel Pier (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Everybody Dance
Life's a party
Why don't you come to the steel pier?
No one's ever gloomy or glum
At the steel pier
Ladies and gentlemen, your marathon host
Mick Hamilton!
Live! From the glorious marine ballroom
On the world famous steel pier!
It's the 1933 Atlantic City dance marathon!
Coming to you tonight and
Every night on WFPG
You know, folks, I have run marathons from Catalina to Kalamazoo
And never have I seen a dance floor filled with more confident couples!
Each couple certain they can outlast the others
And claim that pot of gold worth $2,000!
In just a few moments, this glorious marathon will get underway!
And suddenly, everyone's earthly cares and woes will vanish into ether
As our boys and girls do what the smart set does to pass the time
When you feel the
World is sitting
On your shoulders
Dance!
When your troubles
Feel as big as
Ten ton boulders
Dance!
Dance your blues off
Tap bad news off
Shag your shoes off
And worries waltz away
When you feel an anger deep inside
That smolders
Dance!
Dance, mister
Dance, sister!
Come on everybody, dance!
Gentlemen, our clock is telling us you have just five minutes
Before the starting gun
And while you're claiming your girls
I'll show you mine! Meet Mick's picks!
Come on, gals, let's heat it up
Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance!
Dance your blues off, ahhh
Tap bad news off, ahhh
(Tip tap tip tap tip)
Shag your shoes off
And worries waltz away
Away
When you feel an
Anger deep inside
That smolders
Dance!
Dance!
Dance, mister
Dance, sister!
Come on
Everybody, dance!
Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance!
Dance! Dance!
That's right boys, give me some sass!
Hey hey, take a look at this? Brand new step!
All right, separate. You can bunny hug
But you can't grizzly bear
But this is how we get a sponsor
This is how we get shut down
Everybody, rhumba!
Well, wah wah wah, look who just joined up
Let's throw a spotlight on Olympic champion Johnny Adel!
And his partner, and first time marathoner, Dora Foster
How about it, Johnny?
You gonna break a few records for us?
Ah, ah! Businessmen! Do you like what you see?
Sponsor your favorites
They get your vote of confidence!
You get their backs
And while you're deciding just who's going to be your sweet patootie
Why not consider couple number 17?
Go on now - let that cat meow meow meow!
That's brother and sister sensation, Bette and Buddy Becker!
Now that's floor polish
Come on everybody, let's rip up the joint
When you feel the
World is sitting
On your shoulders
Oh, it's you again
You're still waiting for your partner, huh?
Yes, but I'm sure he'll be here any minute. Thanks for asking
When your troubles
Feel as big as
Ten ton boulders
Because if your partner doesn't show I'm still available
Well, you'll be the first to know. I promise. Thanks again
Dance your blues off
Tap bad news off
Shag your shoes off
And worries waltz away
When you feel
An anger deep inside
That smolders
Dance! Dance!
Dance, mister
Dance, sister!
Come on
