Shall We Dance - 1951 - The King And I

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 29 Nov 2001

[Cue: 'A face... it speaks..']

[Anna:] We've just been introduced,
I do not know you well.
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?

[King spoken: 'Why do you stop?
You dance pretty. Go on! Go on! Go on!']
[Continue Dialogue]

[Anna spoken: 'One, two three and
One, two three,
and one, two, three, and one.']

[Anna sings:] Shall we dance?
[King:] one, two, three, and...
[Anna:] on a bright cloud of music
shall we fly?
[King:] one, two, three, and...
[Anna:] Shall we dance?
[King:] one, two, three, and...
[Anna:] Shall we then say 'goodnight'
and mean 'goodbye'
[King:] one, two, three, and...
[King sings:] Or, perchance
when the last little star has left the sky.
[Anna:] Shall we still
be together with our arms
around each other,
and shall you be my new
[Both:] romance?
[Anna:] on the clear understanding
that this kind of thing can happen,
[Both:] Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?

[Anna teaching King to dance:
one, two, three, and
one, two, three, and]

[King: one, two three,
one two, three.
What is wrong?
I know I forget 'and'...]

[King speaks: 'No, no, no, it is not right!]

[King speaks: 'They are not holding
hands, like this.']

[King speaks: 'Was like this? No?]
[Anna: Yes!']
[King: Come!']

[Anna and King dance Polka]

[After Applause]

[King speaks: 'Come, we do it again!']
