Dancing

[DOLLY, spoken]

Put your hand on her waist and stand

With her right in your left hand

[DOLLY]

And one two three

One two three

[DOLLY & CORNELIUS]

One two three

[CORNELIUS, spoken]

Look I'm dancing!

Well, I was

[DOLLY, spoken]

Of course you were, Mr. Hackl!

[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, spoken]

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 at me, everybody!

I, Cornelius Hackl, sport, am dancing!

[DOLLY, spoken]

You're next, Mr. Tucker!

[DOLLY]

Glide and step and then step and glide

[BARNABY, spoken]

And everyone stand aside!

[CORNELIUS, spoken]

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, spoken]

Whatever you do, for gosh shakes keep breathing!

[BARNABY, CORNELIUS, DOLLY]

For my heart is about to burst

My head is about to pop

And now that we're dancing who cares if we ever stop!

[IRENE]

When there's someone you hardly know

And 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

[IRENE & MINNIE]

While you're dancing

Make the music weave a spell

Whirl away your worry

Things look almost twice as well

When you're slightly blurry

[DOLLY]

As around and around you go

Your spirits will hit the top

[DOLLY, CORNELIUS, & IRENE]

And now that we're dancing

Who cares if we ever stop

[BARNABY, CORNELIUS, DOLLY, IRENE & MINNIE]

One-two-three

One-two-three

One-two-three

One-two

And now that we're dancing

Who cares if we ever stop
