Who's Gonna Dance
Well, if you don't want me around no more
I'll just walk right out this door
I do not know what you're looking for
Baby, neither do you
My, oh my, you're lookin' strange
That suit's outa your price range
You made a sudden , quick change
But, you don't look bad in navy blue
Who's gonna dance with you when I'm gone
Fix your dinner and mow the lawn
Are we, love gone wrong
Who's gonna dance with you when I'm gone
......musical interlude.....
Who's gonna dance, Who's gonna make romance
Fix your dinner and mow the lawn
Who's gonna dance with you when I'm gone
I don't know just what you do when you do it, when you do it
You just set your mind and go through it, through it
You've got big attitude, nothing to it, nothing to it
You sure crawled right out of your shell
Baby, where you goin', do tell
There's a boutonniere on your lapel
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy me
Baby I should walk on by
As you count stars in the sky
It never occured to me, You don't want my company
Who's gonna dance with you when I'm gone
Make your dinner and mow the lawn
Are we, love gone wrong
Who's gonna dance with you when I'm gone
Who's gonna dance with you when I'm gone
Do your chores all day long, yeah
Who's gonna dance with you when I'm gone
Adlibbed ending.
