Drop that long face
C'mon have your fling
Why keep nursing the blues?
If you want this whole world on a swing
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 or walk on air?
Shall we give in to despair
Or shall we dance with never a care
Life is short, we're getting older
Don't you be an also-ran
You better dance little lady
Dance little man, dance whenever you can
