Shall We Dance? by George Gershwin Lyrics
(Verse)
Drop that long face, come on, have your fling
Why keep nursing the blues?
If you want this whole world on a string
Put on your dancing shoes
Stop wasting time
Put on your dancing shoes
Watch your spirits climb
(Chorus)
Shall we dance or keep on moping?
Shall we dance and walk on air?
Shall we give in to despair
Or shall we dance with never a care?
Life is short, we're growing older
Don't you be an also-ran
You'd better dance, little lady, dance, little man
Dance whenever you can
Drop that long face, come on, have your fling
Why keep nursing the blues?
If you want this whole world on a string
Put on your dancing shoes
Stop wasting time
Put on your dancing shoes
Watch your spirits climb
(Chorus)
Shall we dance or keep on moping?
Shall we dance and walk on air?
Shall we give in to despair
Or shall we dance with never a care?
Life is short, we're growing older
Don't you be an also-ran
You'd better dance, little lady, dance, little man
Dance whenever you can
