Shall We Dance?

Shall we dance or keep on mopping? Shall we dance and walk on air? Shall we give in to depsair Or shall we dance with never a care? Life is short We're growing older Let's not be an also-ran You better dance with the lady Dance little man Dance whenever you can Let's go to the Balle de Basard What's my part of the deal? Be nice to me and enjoy yourself Are you sure that's all? 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 Life is short We're getting older Let not be an also-ran You better dance with the lady Dance little man Dance whenever you can
