PEOPLE CALL ME A STICK-IN-THE-MUD,
|
BUT IT'S CERTAINLY NOT TRUE.
|
WHO CAN CALL ME A STICK-IN-THE-MUD,
|
WHEN I POLISH MY TONSILS AND PUT ON MY DANCING SHOES?
|
|
WHEN I GET THAT FEELING AT THE END OF MY TOES,
|
GOTTA GO IN A TRANCE.
|
I GET AN ITCHY FEELING AT THE END OF MY NOSE,
|
GOTTA SING, GOTTA DANCE.
|
|
GOTTA SING, GOTTA DANCE,
|
THOUGH THERE MAY NOT BE MUCH TIME FOR ROMANCE.
|
GONNA SING, GONNA DANCE.
|
I'VE GOTTA SING, I'VE GOTTA DANCE.
|
|
WHEN I HEAR THAT OLD TRAIN WHISTLE BLOW,
|
OR AN OCEAN LINER GETTING READY TO GO,
|
LIKE A RUNAWAY HORSE I'M UNABLE TO STOP,
|
I CAN FEEL MY FEET GO CLIPPETY CLOP, (clippety clop)
|
UNABLE TO STOP. (so don't stop)
|
|
Don't stop!
|
Don't stop!
|
Don't stop!
|
Don't stop!
|
Don't stop!
|
Don't stop!
|
Don't stop!
|
Don't stop!
|
Don't stop!
|
Don't stop! Don't stop! Please, don't!
|
Don't stop! Don't stop! Please, don't!
|
Don't stop! Please, don't, please, don't!
|
Don't stop! Don't stop!
|
Don't stop! Don't stop!
|
Don't stop! Don't stop!
|
Please, don't, don't stop!
|
Please, don't, don't stop!
|
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't stop!
|
|
(Gotta sing) I GOTTA SING,
|
(Gotta dance) I GOTTA DANCE,
|
(Though the neighbours say) OH YES, (I'm taking a chance)
|
TAKING A CHANCE.
|
(Gotta sing) GOTTA SING, YES, SIR!
|
(Gotta dance) I'VE GOTTA DANCE, YOU KNOW I HAVE!
|
(I've gotta sing) GOTTA SING, AND D'YOU KNOW WHAT?
|
(I've gotta dance)
|
