"Dancing" lyrics

Michael Crawford & Barbra Streisand Lyrics

"Dancing"
(from "Hello, Dolly!" soundtrack)

Put your hand on her waist and stand
With her right in your left hand
And one... This one. And one, two, three... Ah! And one, two, three... Oh no, this one. And one, two, three, one, two, three

Look! I'm dancing!
Well, I was!

Of course you were, Mr. Hackle!
Take the someone whose arms you're in
Hold onto her tight and spin (ha-ha)
And one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three

Look! I'm dancing!

Ah! Come here!
Turn around and turn around, try floating through the air
Can't you be a little more aesthetic?

Don't you think my dancing has a polish and a flair?

The word I think I'd use is athletic

Well, my heart is about to burst
My head is about to pop
And now that I'm dancing who cares if I ever stop?

That's wonderful

Look everybody! I, Cornelius Hackl, sport, I'm dancing!

You're next, Mr. Tucker

Oh!

Glide and step, and then step
And glide

And everyone stand aside!

Oh, not... not yet, Mr. Tucker. It's one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one

Look! He's dancing!

I think he's holdin' out on us
You could learn to polka if you worked a week of so
Or the tango filled with passion seething

I might join the chorus of the Castle Garden show

Whatever you do, Mr. Tucker, keep-keep breathing!

For my heart is about to burst
My head is about to pop
And now that we're dancing who cares if we ever stop?

Oh!

When there's someone you hardly know
And wish you were closer to
Remember that he can be near to you while you're dancing

Though you've only just said hello
She's suddenly someone who
Can make all your daydreams appear to you while you're dancing

Let the music weave a spell
Whirl away your worry
Things look almost twice as well
When they're slightly blurry
As around and around you go
Your spirits will hit the top
And now that we're dancing who cared if we ever stop?
One, two, three, one, two, three
One, two, three, one, two, three
And now that we're dancing who cared if we ever stop?
