One Two Three 1918 "Rocka-Bye-Baby"

Sixteen dances on the list,
and I want them all with you,
you're a wonderful partner
that I must insist.
Feet that never hesitate,
to the tempo gliding true
you're an ideal partner,
you are simply great.

One, two, three,
when you dance with me,
like the thistledown set free,
I'm floating airily,
somewhere in Arcady,
in clover are we.
Within my happy heart,
I hear the music start
a kind of pedal harmony,
and it's very plain to see
when we're dancing one, two, three,
you're the partner for me.

One, two, three,
when you dance with me,
like the thistledown set free,
I'm floating airily,
somewhere in Arcady,
in clover are we.
Within my happy heart,
I hear the music start
a kind of pedal harmony,
and it's very plain to see
when we're dancing one, two, three,
you're the partner for me.

From today you're mine alone,
all the rest are on the shelf,
you're a peach of a partner
that I have to own.
Are we in our native land,
or in Paradise itself?
You're an angelic partner,
you are simply grand.

One, two, three,
when you dance with me,
like the thistledown set free,
I'm floating airily,
somewhere in Arcady,
in clover are we.
Within my happy heart,
I hear the music start
a kind of pedal harmony,
and it's very plain to see
when we're dancing one, two, three,
you're the partner for me.

One, two, three,
when you dance with me,
like the thistledown set free,
I'm floating airily,
somewhere in Arcady,
in clover are we.
Within my happy heart,
I hear the music start
a kind of pedal harmony,
and it's very plain to see
when we're dancing one, two, three,
you're the partner for me.
