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 an also-ran

You'd better dance little lady

Dance little man

Dance whenever you can
