Hey there cutes, put on your dancin' boots
And come dance with me
Come dance with me, what an evenin' for some Terpsichore
Pretty face, I know a swingin' place
Come on, dance with me
Romance with me on a crowded floor
And while the rhythm swings
What lovely things I'll be sayin'
'Cause what is dancin' but makin' love
Set to music...playin'
When the band begins to leave the stand
And folks start to roam
As we waltz home, cheek to cheek we'll be
Come on, come on, come on
Come on and dance with me

Hey there cutes, put on your Basie boots
And come dance with me
Come dance with me, what an evenin' for some Terpsichore
Pretty face, I know a swingin' place
Come on, dance with me
Romance with me on a crowded floor
And while the rhythm swings
What cuckoo things I'll be sayin'
'Cause what is dancin' but makin' love
Set to music...playin'
When the band begins to leave the stand
And folks start to roam
As we wing home, cheek to cheek we'll be
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on and dance with me
