Dance That Dengozo With Me 1914

There's a tune that ev'ryone's dancing,
slow and dreamy,
it's so entrancing,
Oh, that ever fascinating
Dengozo strain,
Ev'rywhere you go
you hear that haunting refrain.
It's a cure for you
if you're lazy,
Ev'rybody 'bout it is crazy,
Gee, I think it's grand,
So I beg each band,
play that Dengozo for me.

Play it, oh play it,
that Dengozo strain,
Ooo La La, oo La La,
and then we'll all go dancing
dancing around,
no more Tango,
Trot, or hesitation,
whirl me, and twirl me,
to that melody,
Ooo La La, Oo La La
You should worry
'bout old Missus Rip van Winkle,
you'll forget about
the little stars that twinkle,
There goes the band,
Honey, give me your hand,
and dance that Dengozo with me.

Play it, oh play it,
that Dengozo strain,
Ooo La La, oo La La,
and then we'll all go dancing
dancing around,
no more Tango,
Trot, or hesitation,
whirl me, and twirl me,
to that melody,
Ooo La La, Oo La La
You should worry
'bout old Missus Rip van Winkle,
you'll forget about
the little stars that twinkle,
There goes the band,
Honey, give me your hand,
and dance that Dengozo with me.

Grandma's taking her lesson daily,
Pa and Ma are dancing it gaily,
In his little highchair
baby Brother so sweet,
when he hears that Maxie
how he wiggles his feet.
Uncle, Auntie,
Sister and brother,
Love the tune, and dance to no other,
If they fail to play,
someone's sure to say,
Please play that Dengozo tune.

Play it, oh play it,
that Dengozo strain,
Ooo La La, oo La La,
and then we'll all go dancing
dancing around,
no more Tango,
Trot, or hesitation,
whirl me, and twirl me,
to that melody,
Ooo La La, Oo La La
You should worry
'bout old Missus Rip van Winkle,
you'll forget about
the little stars that twinkle,
There goes the band,
Honey, give me your hand,
and dance that Dengozo with me.

Play it, oh play it,
that Dengozo strain,
Ooo La La, oo La La,
and then we'll all go dancing
dancing around,
no more Tango,
Trot, or hesitation,
whirl me, and twirl me,
to that melody,
Ooo La La, Oo La La
You should worry
'bout old Missus Rip van Winkle,
you'll forget about
the little stars that twinkle,
There goes the band,
Honey, give me your hand,
and dance that Dengozo with me.
