Irving Berlin - They Call It Dancing - Текст песни

[Verse:]
Years ago when I was just a wee little thing
A man never squeezed a girl till she got the ring
They were both engaged before the boy took a chance
But now all he has to do is ask her to dance

[1st refrain:]
They call it dancing, you see them cuddled up tight
They're only dancing so ev'rything is all right

Until the midnight cabaret closes
You can see he and she rubbing noses

She calls him "Mister" They're only friends it appears
And then he'll twist her like they've been married for years

A man can squeeze all the she's
With his arms and his knees
And they call it dancing, that's all

[2nd refrain:]
They call it dancing, you see them cuddled up tight
They're only dancing so ev'rything is all right

Until the midnight cabaret closes
You can see he and she rubbing noses

If it's a ballroom she doesn't mind his embrace
But in a hallroom she'd slap him right in the face

A man can grab someone's wife
Have the time of his life
And they call it dancing, that's all
