Lyrics Shall We Dance? [From the King & I] - Marni Nixon, Yul Brynner, Deborah Kerr

Shall We Dance? [From the King & I]

Just be introduced
I do not know you well,
but when the music started something drew me to your side
So many men and girls are in each other’s arms
It made me think
we might be
similarly occupied
Shall we dance
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance
shall we then say, «Good night» and mean, «Good -by?»
All perchance?
When the last little star has left the sky
Shall we still be together
With our arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On a clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen
Shall we dance…
Well It’s quite simple the polka.
You count, «One two three and one two three and one two three and…»
Shall we dance
—One two three and
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
—One two three and
Shall we dance
—One two three and
Shall we then say, «Good night» and mean, «Good-by?»
—One two three and
All Perchance
when the last little star has leave the sky
Shall we stay and be together with our arms around each other
and shall you be my new romance
On the clear understanding
that this kind of thing can happen
Shall we dance…
