Oscar Hammerstein II - Shall We Dance? lyrics

[Anna:] [Spoken] Oh but it's very exciting, when you're young at your first dance And you're sitting on a small quilt chair with your eyes lowered Terrified that you'd be a wallflower. And suddenly you see two Black shoes, a white waistcoat, a face, it speakes [Anna:] [Sung] We've just been introduced I do not know you well But when the music started Something drew me to your side So many men and girls Are in each others arms It made me think we might be Similarly occupied Shall we dance? On a bright cloud of music shall we fly? Shall we dance? Shall we then say "Goodnight and mean "Goodbye"? Or perchance When the last little star has left the sky Shall we still be together With are arms around each other And shall you be my new romance? On the clear understanding That this kind of thing can happen Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we Dance? [Dialog:] Anna Mm mm mm[x2] [King:] Why'd you stop? You dance pretty , go on, go on, go on! [Anna:] Oh your Majesty I didn't realize, after all I'm not a Dancing girl...In England no woman would dance while a Man is looking at her [King:] But you will dance with strange men, holding hands, etcetera [Anna:] Yes, but not always a stranger. Usually a very good friend [King:] Good, then we will dance together! You show me Teach, teach, teach! [Anna:] Well, it's quite simple, the polka. You count one, two, three And one, two, three and one, two, three Shall we dance? [King:] One, two, three and? [Anna:] On a bright cloud of music shall we fly? [King:] One, two, three and? [Anna:] Shall we dance? [King:] One, two, three and? [Anna:] Shall we then say "Goodnight and mean "Goodbye"? [King:] One, two, three and? [Anna:] Or perchance When the last little star has left the sky Shall we still be together With are arms around each other And shall you be my new romance? On the clear understanding That this kind of thing can happen [Both:] Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we Dance? [Anna][Chorus:] One, two, three and one, two, three and[x2] [King:] One, two, three, one, two, three One, two... Something wrong! I know, I know, I forgot "AND" next time I'll remember! [Both][Chorus] [Ann:] Oh that's splendid, your Majesty! [King:] Splendid! Splendid! [Both:] And one, two, three and one, two, three and One, two, three and [King:] That is not right! [Anna:] Yes, it is! You're doing beautifully, your Majesty [King:] Not the way I see Europeans dance tonight [Anna:] Yes, it was! It was just like that! [King:] We're not holding two hands, like this [Anna:] No. As a matter of fact [King:] Or no-o-o-ot like this [Anna:] Yes [King:] Come!
