As you listen to the band don't you get a bubble?
As you listen to them play don't you get a glow? If you step out on the floor You'll forget your trouble If you go into your dance You'll forget your woe So:Come Get together Let the dance floor feel your leather Step as lightly as a feather Let yourself goCome Hit the timber Loosen up and start to limber Can't you hear that hot marimba? Let yourself goLet yourself go Relax And let yourself go Relax You've got yourself tied up in a knot The night is cold but the music's hot SoCome Cuddle closer Don't you dare to answer No, sir Butcher, banker, clerk and grocer Let yourself go |

Think of what you're losing By constantly refusing to dance with me. You'd be the idol of France with me!And yet you stand there and shake Your foolish head dramatic'lly. While I wait here so ecstatic'lly You just look and say emphatic'lly Not this season! There's a reason!I won't dance! Don't ask me; I won't dance! Don't ask me; I won't dance, Madame, with you. My heart won't let my feet do the things they should do! You know what? You're lovely,And so what? I'm lovely!But oh! What you do to me! I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore; I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor!When you dance you're charming and you're gentle! 'Spec'lly when you do the ";Continental";.But this feeling isn't purely mental; For heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos. I won't dance! Why should I! I won't dance! How could I? I won't dance! Merci beau coup! I know that music leads the way to romance: So if I hold you in my arms I won't dance! |

The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb But people from Missouri never incensed me Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned For from hist'ry I had learned How many, many times the worm had turnedThey all laughed at Christopher Columbus When he said the world was round They all laughed when Edison recorded sound They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother When they said that man could flyThey told Marconi Wireless was a phony It's the same old cry They laughed at me wanting you Said I was reaching for the moon But oh, you came through Now they'll have to change their tuneThey all said we never could be happy They laughed at us and how! But ho, ho, ho! Who's got the last laugh now?They all laughed at Rockefeller Center Now they're fighting to get in They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat Hershey and his chocolate barFord and his Lizzie Kept the laughers busy That's how people are They laughed at me wanting you Said it would be, ";Hello, Goodbye."; But oh, you came through Now they're eating humble pieThey all said we'd never get together Darling, let's take a bow For ho, ho, ho! Who's got the last laugh? Hee, hee, hee! Let's at the past laugh Ha, ha, ha! Who's got the last laugh now?"; |

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 are 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 [Repeat] |

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place
Except you and me So set 'em' up Joe, I got a little story I think you should know We're drinking my friend, to the end Of a brief episode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road I know the routine, put another nickel In the machine I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music Easy and sad I could tell you a lot, but it's not In a gentleman's code Make it one for my baby And one more for the road You'd never know it, but buddy I'm a kind of poet And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me Till it's talked away Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin' Anxious to close Thanks for the cheer I hope you didn't mind My bending your ear But this torch that I found, It's gotta be drowned Or it's gonna explode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road |

The party's over, the game is ended,
the dreams I dreamed went up in smoke. They didn't pan out as I had intended; I should know how to take a joke. I'll go my way by myself, this is the end of romance. I'll go my way by myself, love is only a dance. I'll try to apply myself and teach my heart to sing. I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing, I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own; No one knows better than I, myself, I'm by myself alone. I'll go my way by myself, here's how the comedy ends. I'll have to deny myself love and laughter and friends. Grey clouds in sky above have put a blot on my fun. I'll try to fly high above for a place in the sun. I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own; No one knows better than I, myself, I'm by myself alone. |
