Dance Alone With You 1927 'Funny Face'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 29 Jan 2005

There are lots of fellows at ev'ry dance
who take a chance;
Chaps who love to cut in
the whole night through.
You and I are dancing,
we're going strong stepping along,
then some darn collegiate comes into view.
He's just a gagline out of the stag line,
but he wants to dance, what can I do?
He nabs you, quickly he grabs you,
as away you fly I'm sighing:

Why does ev'rybody have to cut in,
when I want to dance alone with you?
What's the big idea when they butt in,
when I want a chance alone with you?
Hear me!
I'm sure the judge and jury will clear me,
if any one of them I kill.
Oh, why does ev'rybody have to strut in,
when I want to dance alone with you?

Why does ev'rybody have to cut in,
when I want to dance alone with you?
What's the big idea when they butt in,
when I want a chance alone with you?
Hear me!
I'm sure the judge and jury will clear me,
if any one of them I kill.
Oh, why does ev'rybody have to strut in,
when I want to dance alone with you?
