Lyrics
Refrain
I’ve got to dance, I’ve got to dance
When I hear music calling to me
I just adore, I just adore
To glide around the floor
When I am all through with one dance
And we sit down to have a talk
Another tune seems to whisper
“Get up and walk”
Oh, won’t you stop, Oh, won’t you stop
That captivating beautiful tune
For if you don’t or if you won’t
I don’t know what I’ll do
I’d run away from each modulation
But I’m such a slave to syncopation
That I’ve got to dance
Until the orchestra gets through
