The 'Ampstead Way 1946 JPitt-Payne

Statistics prove a fellow falls more readily
when music puts a partner in his arms.
Before you know he's calling on her steadily
which leaves no doubt that music does have charms;
But if you really want someone to fall
the people called the "pearlies"
when they're dancing with their girlies
out on 'Ampstead have the surest way of all.

It's absolutely diff'rent
and delightful when you dance
The 'Ampstead Way.
It's so far ahead of dreaming
why, it's practic'lly romance
The 'Ampstead Way.
Put wings on your shoes
and tell your blues
it's time to take a holiday.
If you like to kiss to music,
well, you stand a better chance
The 'Ampstead Way..

It's so absolutely diff'rent
and delightful when you dance
The 'Ampstead Way.
It's so far ahead of dreaming
why, it's practic'lly romance
The 'Ampstead Way.
Put wings on your shoes
and tell your blues
it's time to take a holiday.
If you like to kiss to music,
well, you stand a better chance
The 'Ampstead Way..
