[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
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

[Outro]
Da-da-da-da-da, da, da-da, da
[Non-Lyrical Vocals] Da-da-da-da
You'd better dance, little lady
Dance little man
Dance whenever you can
