They showed up together but that's about all
She went on her way and left him glued to the wall
Ball gowns and black ties spinning like tops
He'd be at the center if he knew how to waltz
Palms are sweaty
And he can't ask her with breath like this
She's so pretty
But he forgets all about it and says something like this
What if we both fell down laughing
Got up and just kept on dancing
I'll make both my left feet follow yours till we fall again again
I move like molasses
You're like a ballerina and a Broadway actress
I'll make both my left feet follow yours until we fall again again
Ber la blu ber ta tu la tu la tu...
They started dancing he wasn't bad
Okay he was awful but that didn't matter
He stepped on her feet more than just once or twice
He stared at the ground while she looked for his eyes
What was I thinking
She's probably just too nice to refuse me
What's she thinking
But he forgets all about it and says something like this
What if we both fell down laughing
Got up and just kept on dancing
I'll make both my left feet follow yours till we fall again again
I move like molasses
You're like a ballerina and a Broadway actress
I'll make both my left feet follow yours until we fall again again
Ber la blu ber ta tu la tu la tu...
Palms are sweaty
They danced longer than he anticipated
She's so pretty
He never got any better but it didn't matter
What if we both fell down laughing
Got up and just kept on dancing
I'll make both my left feet follow yours till we fall again again
I move like molasses
You're like a ballerina and a Broadway actress
I'll make both my left feet follow yours until we fall again again
Ber la blu ber ta tu la tu la tu...
