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 into 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!
