When I hear a band blowin' Basie I can count on losing my cool Take me where the rhythm is racy Let me be a dancin' fool Some prefer the Café Europa Sipping Dubonnet on a stool Me, I get my kicks at the Copa That's where I'm a dancin' fool I'll show you some moves Smooth as satin And others they don't teach in school
When that crooner starts into scattin' Just give me a chance an' My tuxedo pants an' Presto! I'm a dancin' fool When those trumpets blare, man I ain't got a care man I'm like Fred Astaire, man Cool! Just give me a chance an' My tuxedo pants an' Presto! I'm a dancin' fool!
