Oh! listen to that melody
your dancing eyes are tempting me
the band ought to play on for ever
while we two are dancing together.
My heart just seems to syncopate,
I know I've met my dancing fate,
A feeling new,
thrills me thru
can't resist
I must dance with you.

Come on and dance
I feel so happy
Come on and dance
we'll make it snappy!
Now don't refuse
my sweet and pretty;
Oh! Oh! Come on let's go!
So put your feet
with me in motion
we'll roll along
just like the ocean;
'Cause in my head
I've got a notion
you'll marry a dancing fool.

Come and cuddle up
and I'll whisper something to you.
I've got a feeling that
I'm falling, honey, for you.
Say the word and soon
we'll have a wonderful honeymoon.

Come on and dance
I feel so happy
Come on and dance
we'll make it snappy!
Now don't refuse
my sweet and pretty;
Oh! Oh! Come on let's go!
So put your feet
with me in motion
we'll roll along
just like the ocean;
'Cause in my head
I've got a notion
you'll marry a dancing fool.

You are my dance affifinity
we move in perfect harmony
and while we step to the metre
I ask you what could be sweeter?
Tho' I have danced with many more
it never seemed like this before;
And soon we'll ride
side by side,
a dancing fool
with his dancing bride.

Come on and dance
I feel so happy
Come on and dance
we'll make it snappy!
Now don't refuse
my sweet and pretty;
Oh! Oh! Come on let's go!
So put your feet
with me in motion
we'll roll along
just like the ocean;
'Cause in my head
I've got a notion
you'll marry a dancing fool.

Come and cuddle up
and I'll whisper something to you.
I've got a feeling that
I'm falling, honey, for you.
Say the word and soon
we'll have a wonderful honeymoon.

Come on and dance
I feel so happy
Come on and dance
we'll make it snappy!
Now don't refuse
my sweet and pretty;
Oh! Oh! Come on let's go!
So put your feet
with me in motion
we'll roll along
just like the ocean;
'Cause in my head
I've got a notion
you'll marry a dancing fool.
