Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming, ah
Is this burning an eternal flame
Let our love be a flame, not an ember,
Say it’s me that you want to dismember.
Blacken my eye,
Set fire to my tie,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.
At your command
Before you here I stand,
My heart is in my hand. Ecch!
You’re a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you’re gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance…
I work at the Palace ballroom, but gee that palace is cheap
When I get back to my chillly hallroom, I’m much too tired to sleep
I’m one of those lady teachers, a beautiful hostess you know;
One that the palace features, at exactly a dime a throw.
Ten cents a dance, that’s what they pay me
Gosh how they weigh me down.
Ten cents a dance, pansies and rough guys, tough guys who tear my gown.
Seven to midnight I hear drums, loudly the saxophone blows,
Trumpets are tearing my ear-drums, customers crush my toes.
Sometimes I think, I’ve found my hero
But it’s a queer romance;
All that you need is a ticket,
Come on big boy, ten cents a dance.
Everyone who’s anyone has gathered at the palace,
Even though for some of us it’s really quite a ride.
But everything was beautiful at the Ballet.
You are so beautiful to me
Can’t you see?
You’re everything I hoped for
You’re everything I need
You’ve got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You’re gonna find, yes, you will
That you’re beautiful as you feel
Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble
When you’re perfect in every way.
I can’t wait to look in the mirror,
Cause I get better looking each day.
To know me is to love me.
I must be a hell of a man!
Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble-
But I’m doing the best that I can.
Everybody loves me baby,
What’s the matter with you?
Tell me, what did I do
To offend you?
Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?
I ain’t got nobody,
Nobody cares for me.
In the morning, in the evening
Ain’t we got fun?
It’s just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that’s my fun day
It’s just a manic Monday
She’s a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
She’s a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
On the ice-build iron sanity is a place most never see
It’s a hard warm place of mystery, touch it, but can’t hold it
You work all your life for that moment in time, it could come or pass you by
It’s a push of the world, but there’s always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
She Was More Like A Beauty Queen From A Movie Scene
I Said Don’t Mind, But What Do You Mean I Am The One
Who Will Dance On The Floor In The Round
She Said I Am The One Who Will Dance On The Floor In The Round
Dance me to your beauty like a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I’m gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch, be my homeward dove
And dance me to the end of love
Please dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Oh let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Oh show me slowly what I only know the limits of
And dance me to the end of love
Please dance me to the end of love
Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can’t you see the music is just starting?
Night is Falling, and I am Calling
Dance with me
Fantasy could never be so giving
I feel free, I hope that you are willing
Pick the beat up, and kick your feet up
Dance with me
Went to a party the other night,
Long Tall Sally was out of sight
Threw way her wig, and her high sneakers too,
She was doin’ a dance without any shoes
Barefootin’
Worry the bottle mama,
it’s grapefruit wine.
Kick off your high heel, sneakers,
it’s party time.
The girls don’t seem to care what’s on,
as long as they play till dawn.
Nothin’ but blues and Elvis,
and somebody else favorite song…
