The Tom, Dick or Harry that I ever marry
Will have to be a dancer
Before he gets my answer
I'm not much at dancing but as for romancing
I know a thing or two
But that would never do
Why wouldn't it?
I wouldn't give "that" for the man who couldn't dance
If only a little bit
He'd have to take a chance
For when the band starts playing a lively air
That's when he'll have to be there
With a light fantastic, very elastic
I wouldn't waste one little tiny little glance
No matter how very much
He spoke about romance
He may be handsome, wealthy
Full of personality
I wouldn't give "that" for the man
Who couldn't dance with me
