I Would Like to Dance |
| Look at me I would like to dance |
| But I haven’t the clothes for romance |
| So I’ll stay with the boys in the band |
| I would like to be cool |
| Like the ladies who drool as they advance |
| But I can’t get my feet |
| To go where I lead with my toes |
| At the debutante’s ball everybody does all they can do to enhance |
| Every corset in town in a gown made specially in France |
| And the men here can tell at a glance |
| I would like to maintain |
| but it sure seems a shame to sit on my hands |
| And I only got into the swim |
| by the seat of my pants |
| Not another woman in the world |
| Who could make a living |
| Pitching the light fandango |
| dancing on the streets of the city |
| Look at me, playing freelance at the ball |
| Catch my entrance to the hall |
| Far from the gilded lily |
| Look at me would you like to dance |
| I’ve a book illustrating the stance |
| And I can’t get my head |
| To go where I lead |
| With my toes |
| I feel solo |
