Drop that long face
Come on have your fling
Why keep nursing the blues
If you want this
Old 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
And all so rare
You'd better dance little lady
Dance little man
Dance whenever you can
Life is short
We're growing older
Don't you be
And all so rare
You'd better dance little lady
Dance little man
Dance whenever you can
Dance whenever you can
