When I hear a band blowing Bassie
I can't count on losing my cool
take me where the rhythm is racie
let me be a dancin' fool
when it comes to waltzing or tapping
I know Fred Astair as a rule
but just let that base get us slapping
I'll become a dancin' fool
I'll show you some moves
smooth as satin
and other they don't teach in school
when that crooner start in a skatin
just give me a chancin'
my tuxedo pancin'
rest tell I'm a dancin' fool
