Carol Channing - Dancing lyrics

[DOLLY, spoken] Just give me five minutes of your time, Mr. Hackl, and I will have you dancing in the streets. Put your arm on her waist and stand, with her right in your left hand... (sung) And one two three, one two three, one two three [CORNELIUS, spoken] Look, I'm dancing! [DOLLY] 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, spoken] 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? (spoken) Look 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 pa**ion seething [BARNABY] I might join the chorus of the castle garden show [DOLLY] Whatever you do for gosh shakes keep breathing [BARNABY, DOLLY, & 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! [IRENE] 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 When they're slightly blurry [DOLLY] As around and around you go Your spirits will hit the top And now that we're dancing Who cares if we ever stop [ALL] Now that we're dancing Who cares if we ever stop Now that we're dancing Who cares if we ever stop
