Dance Little Baby (1928) |
| Though you’re only seventeen |
| Far too much of life you’ve seen |
| Syncopated child |
| Maybe if you only knew |
| Where your path is leading to |
| You’d become less wild |
| But I know it’s vain |
| Trying to explain |
| While there’s this insane |
| Music in your brain |
| Dance, dance, dance little lady |
| Youth is fleeting to the rhythm |
| Beating in your mind |
| Dance, dance, dance little lady |
| So obsessed with second best |
| No rest you’ll ever find |
| Time and tide and trouble |
| Never, never wait |
| Let the cauldron bubble |
| Justify your fate |
| Dance, dance, dance little lady |
| Dance, dance, dance little lady |
| Leave tomorrow behind |
| When the saxaphone |
| Gives a wicked moan |
| Charleston, hey, hey |
| Rhythms fall and rise |
| Start dancing to the tune |
| The bands crooning— |
| For soon the night will be gone |
| Start swaying like a reed |
| Without heeding |
| The speed |
| That hurries you on |
| Syncopate your nerves |
| Till your body curves |
| Drooping, stooping |
| Laughter some day dies |
| And when the lights are starting to gutter |
| Dawn—through the shutter— |
| Shows you’re living in a world of lies |
| Dance, dance, dance little lady |
| Youth is fleeting to the rhythm |
| Beating in your mind |
| Dance, dance, dance little lady |
| So obsessed with second best |
| No rest you’ll ever find |
| Time and tide and trouble |
| Never, never wait |
| Let the cauldron bubble |
| Justify your fate |
| Dance, dance, dance little lady |
| Dance, dance, dance little lady |
| Leave tomorrow behind |
