Lyrics
Jazz dancing nowadays does not appeal to me
I never cared about the jazzy melody
I’d love to dance around a while
But my kind of dance is out of style
Chorus
I love to dance the dreamy waltz
Of long ago
When grand-mama and grand-papa
Were girl and beau
I can see them there dancing
Such a happy pair romancing
While gliding o’er the ballroom floor
To the waltz of long ago
Performance
