Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing In a Hurry - Red Norvo & His Orchestra/Mildred Bailey[00:00:00]
Written by:Johnny Mercer/Victor Schertzinger[00:00:04]
Life was so peaceful at the laundry[00:00:09]
Life was so calm and serene[00:00:14]
Life was trees gay[00:00:18]
Till that unlucky day[00:00:21]
I happened to read that magazine[00:00:23]
Why did I read that advertisement[00:00:27]
Where it says[00:00:31]
Since I rumba Jim thinks I'm sublime[00:00:32]
Why oh why did I ever try[00:00:36]
When I didn't have the talent[00:00:40]
I didn't have the money[00:00:43]
And teacher did not have the time mau[00:00:46]
Arthur Murray taught me dancin' in a hurry[00:00:54]
I had a week to spare[00:01:00]
He showed me the ground work[00:01:02]
The walkin' around work[00:01:03]
And told me to take it from there[00:01:05]
Arthur Murray then advised me not to worry[00:01:09]
It'd come out all right[00:01:14]
To my way of thinkin' it's came up stinkin'[00:01:17]
I don't know my left from my right[00:01:19]
The people around me can all sing[00:01:24]
A one and a two and a three[00:01:26]
But any resemblance to waltzing[00:01:29]
Is just coincidental with me[00:01:31]
'Cause Arthur Murray taught me dancin' in a hurry[00:01:34]
And so I took a chance[00:01:39]
To me it resembles the nine day trembles[00:01:42]
But he guarantees it's a dance[00:01:44]
My tango resembles a two step[00:01:55]
My rumba makes people turn pale[00:01:58]
My conga goes into a goose step[00:02:01]
Till the FBI is doggin' my trail[00:02:03]
'Cause Arthur Murray taught me dancin' in a hurry[00:02:06]
Maybe the stars were wrong[00:02:12]
If I ain't a menace to Ruth St Dennis[00:02:14]
I'll do until one comes along[00:02:16]
Turkey trot[00:02:22]
Or gavotte[00:02:23]
Don't know which[00:02:23]
Don't know what[00:02:24]
Jitterbug[00:02:25]
Bunny hug[00:02:25]
Long as you[00:02:26]
Cut a rug[00:02:27]
Lindy hop[00:02:27]
Till you drop[00:02:28]
Ball the Jack[00:02:29]
Back to back[00:02:29]
Cheek to cheek[00:02:30]
Till you're weak[00:02:31]
You've heard of pavlova[00:02:35]
Well jack move over[00:02:35]
Make way for the queen of the dance[00:02:37]
