Dolly

Put your hand on her waist and stand

With her right in your left hand

And one two three, one two three, one two three

Cornelius

Look I'm dancing!

Well, I was.

Dolly

Of course you were, Mr. Hackl!

Take the someone whose arms you're in

Hold onto her tight and spin

And one two three, one two three, one two three

Cornelius

Wow, I'm dancing!

Dolly

Turn around and turn around, try floating through the air

Can't you be a little more aesthetic?

Cornelius

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

Dolly

The word I think I'd use is athletic!

Cornelius

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!

...Look at lne, everybody! I, Cornelius Hackl...Sport

...Am dancing!

Dolly

You're next, Mr. Tucker!

Glide and step and then step and glide

Barnaby

And everyone stand aside!

Cornelius

He's dancing!

Dolly

You could learn to polka if you worked a week or so

Or the tango filled with passion seething

Barnaby

I might join the chorus of the castle garden show

Dolly

Whatever you do for gosh shakes keep breathing

Barnaby, Dolly and Cornelius

For my heart is about to burst

My head is about to pop

And now that I'm dancing who cares if I ever stop!

Mrs. Molloy

When there's someone you hardly know

But wish you were closer to

Remember that he can be near to you

While you're dancing

Though you've only just said "hello"

He's suddenly someone who

Can make all your daydreams appear to you

While you're dancing

Make the music weave a spell

Whirl away your worry

Things look almost twice as well
