I Want To Dance 1934

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 13 Oct 2002

I've been so depressed that I couldn't rest,
I felt like committing suicide,
Now I've found a cure,
it's certain and it's sure,
and that's what's made me finally decide that

I want to dance,
haven't got the time for love or romance,
All I want to do is pick up the beat,
and get on my feet and dance.
I want to dance,
that depression doesn't stand half a chance.
All I want to do is show it the door,
and get on the floor and dance.
Take a note of that rhythm,
take a note of that band,
I've just got to go with 'em,
it makes me feel so grand.
I want to dance,
then I'll say goodbye to love and romance,
all I want to do is pick up the beat,
and get on my feet and dance.

I want to dance,
haven't got the time for love or romance,
All I want to do is pick up the beat,
and get on my feet and dance.
I want to dance,
that depression doesn't stand half a chance.
All I want to do is show it the door,
and get on the floor and dance.
Take a note of that rhythm,
take a note of that band,
I've just got to go with 'em,
it makes me feel so grand.
I want to dance,
then I'll say goodbye to love and romance,
all I want to do is pick up the beat,
and get on my feet and dance.

If I'm feeling tired, and I'm uninspired,
I just send the band an S.O.S.
When they know I'm here,
altho' it may sound queer,
I've never really know them
fail to guess that

I want to dance,
haven't got the time for love or romance,
All I want to do is pick up the beat,
and get on my feet and dance.
I want to dance,
that depression doesn't stand half a chance.
All I want to do is show it the door,
and get on the floor and dance.
Take a note of that rhythm,
take a note of that band,
I've just got to go with 'em,
it makes me feel so grand.
I want to dance,
then I'll say goodbye to love and romance,
all I want to do is pick up the beat,
and get on my feet and dance.

I want to dance,
haven't got the time for love or romance,
All I want to do is pick up the beat,
and get on my feet and dance.
I want to dance,
that depression doesn't stand half a chance.
All I want to do is show it the door,
and get on the floor and dance.
Take a note of that rhythm,
take a note of that band,
I've just got to go with 'em,
it makes me feel so grand.
I want to dance,
then I'll say goodbye to love and romance,
all I want to do is pick up the beat,
and get on my feet and dance.
