Drop that long face
Come on have your fling
Why keep nursing the blues?
If you want this old world on a string
Put on your dancing shoes
Stop wasting time
Put on your dancing shoes
Watch your spirits climb
Shall we dance
Or keep on [C7]mopin'?
Shall [Em]we dance
And walk on [C7]air?
Shall [Em]we give in to [C7]despair?
Or shall [Em]we dance with never a care?
Life is short
We're growing older
Don't you [A7be [Am]an also-ran
You'd better dance, little lady
Dance, little man
Dance whenever you [A7can.
