Drop that long face
Come on, have your fling
Why keep nursing the blues
If you want this whole world on a string
Put on your dancing shoes
Stop wasting time
Put on your dancing shoes
Watch your spirits climb
Shall we dance
Or keep on moping?
Shall we dance
And walk on air?
Shall we give in To despair
Or shall we dance with never a care?
Life is short! We’re growing older!
Don’t you be an also-ran!
You’d better dance, little lady
Dance little man!
Dance whenever you can!
