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!
