On With The Dance 1920 Kern

The thought of a dance,
fills me with romance,
I dither and blither and quiver.
I'm all over shocks,
I thrill to my socks,
and I shake like a reed on the river.
I tremble and turn hot and cold,
like a jelly that slipped from its mould.

On with the dance,
On with the dance,
Let me twirl in the whirl tonight,
I'll cling to some beautiful vamp,
as close as the gum to a stamp,
I'll slither and slip,
I'll hug and I'll grip,
I must have a night of romance,
To some cutey in blue,
Oh Boy what I'll do! at the dance,
On with the dance.

I'll show them a step,
all ginger and pep,
I'm one of the likeliest starters,
I'll shimmey and shake,
Till my shoulders I break,
and I wriggle clean out of my garters.
I'll find me a maiden so frail
and doubtless I'll tell her the tale.

On with the dance,
On with the dance,
Let me twirl in the whirl tonight,
With some little sweetie I'll roam,
we'll both miss our last trolley home,
I'll cuddle and squeeze
till I give at the knees,
I must have a night of romance,
if your wife I should see,
don't trust her with me,
at the dance
on with the dance.
