Dancing in the street love
Dancing in your hair
They’ll never know
That you dance until you go
And then you’re down
Dancing in your heart love
Dancing in the sea
They’ll never say
That you danced your life away
And now you’re down
Dancing, Oh
Dolly [speaking]:
Put your hand on her waist and stand
With her right in your left hand
And one and one two three, ah! one two three,
Oh, no, this one…and one two three
One two three
Cornelius [speaking]:
Look i’m dancing!
Well, i was.
Dolly [speaking]:
Of course you were, mr. hackl!
[singing]
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:
Look, i’m dancing!
Dolly:
Come here.
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:
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!
Dolly:
That’s wonderful, mr. hackl!
Cornelius:
…look, everybody! i, cornelius hackl…sport
…i’m dancing!
Dolly:
You’re next, mr. tucker!
Glide and step and then step and glide
Barnaby:
And everyone stand aside!
Dolly:
Oh, not yet mr. tucker! one, two, three…
One, two, three, ah!
Cornelius
Look, he’s dancing!
Dolly
I think he’s phenomenal!
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:
Whatever you do, mr. tucker, kee-keep breathing
All three:
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!
All:
Make the music weave a spell
Whirl away your worry
Things look almost twice as well
When you’re slightly blurry
As around and around you go
Your spirits will hit the top
And now that we’re dancing
Who cares if we ever stop
One-two-three
One-two-three
One-two
And now that we’re dancing
Who cares if we ever stop!
Dancing on hot tiles
Dancing on tender hooks
Dancing down church aisles
Dancing on holy books
Dancing on crocodiles
Dancing on hallowed ground
Dancing nyjinsky style
Dancing with the lost and found
Dancing on rock ‘n roll’s grave
Dancing on burning coals
Dancing on "jesus saves"
Dancing with old scratch soul
Dancing on flick knives
Dancing a stiletto groove
Dancing our nine lives away
Dancing in the louvre
Dancing in catacombs
Dancing in tuxedo drag
Dancing in dark rooms
Dancing on all your flags
Dancing in the vatican
Dancing on the papal gown
Dancing on the taxman
Dancing on the crown
We’re dancing to the dark side of this tune
We’re dancing to the dark side of this tune
Dancing on hot tiles
Dancing on tender hooks
Dancing down church aisles
Dancing on holy books
Dancing on crocodiles
Dancing on hallowed ground
Dancing nyjinsky style
Dancing with the lost and found
Dancing on rock ‘n roll’s grave
Dancing on burning coals
Dancing on "jesus saves"
Dancing with old scratch soul
Dancing on flick knives
Dancing a stiletto groove
Dancing our nine lives away
Dancing in the louvre
Dancing in catacombs
Dancing in tuxedo drag
Dancing in dark rooms
Dancing on all your flags
Dancing in the vatican
Dancing on the papal gown
Dancing on the taxman
Dancing on the crown
We’re dancing to the dark side of this tune
We’re dancing to the dark side of this tune
Dancing on hot tiles
Dancing on tender hooks
Dancing down church aisles
Dancing on holy books
Dancing on crocodiles
Dancing on hallowed ground
Dancing nyjinsky style
Dancing with the lost and found
Dancing on rock ‘n roll’s grave
Dancing on burning coals
Dancing on "jesus saves"
Dancing with old scratch soul
Dancing on flick knives
Dancing a stiletto groove
Dancing our nine lives away
Dancing in the louvre
Dancing in catacombs
Dancing in tuxedo drag
Dancing in dark rooms
Dancing on all your flags
Dancing in the vatican
Dancing on the papal gown
Dancing on the taxman
Dancing on the crown
We’re dancing to the dark side of this tune
We’re dancing to the dark side of this tune
I understand everything
I understand everything
Take me in your arms
You knew how i feel
Before i knew, i was up to my neck
First time we danced
So i’ll tell you what brought you home tonight
So, you’re back, what brought you home?
Oh, the dancin’
Take me in your arms
You knew how i feel
Running home
I couldn’t wait to be inside you then
You were all around me then
So, is that what brought you home tonight
Do you know what brought you home tonight?
Was it the dancin’?
Before i knew, i was up to my neck
The last toe leaving ground
First time we danced
(jack hues / nick de spig)
Dancing in the street love
Dancing in your hair
They’ll never know
That you dance until you go
And then you’re down
Dancing in your heart love
Dancing in the sea
They’ll never say
That you danced your life away
And now you’re down
Dancing, oh
