Shall We Dance? (from 'The King and I') Songtext
We′ve just been introduced
I do not know you well
But when the music started something drew me to your side
So many men and girls
Are in each others arms
It made me think that we might be
Similarly occupied
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say good night and mean goodbye?
Or per chance when the last little star has left the sky
Shall we still be together with our arms around each other?
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Why do you stop? You dance pretty!
Go on, go on, go on!
Oh your majesty, I didn't realise
After all I′m not a dancing girl
In England no woman would dance alone while a man is looking at her
But you will dance with strange man holding hands etc?
Yes but not always a stranger
Usually a very good friend
Good then we will dance together!
You show me, teach, teach, teach!
Well it's quite simple the polka,
You count 1, 2, 3 and 1, 2, 3 and 1, 2, 3
Shall we dance?/ 1, 2, 3 and
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?/ 1, 2, 3 and
Shall we dance?/ 1, 2, 3 and
Shall we then say good night and mean goodbye?/ 1, 2, 3 and
Or per chance when the last little star has leave the sky
Shall we still be together with our arms around each other?
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can...
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Oh 1, 2, 3 and 1, 2, 3 and 1, 2, 3 and
Something wrong?
I know, I know I forget and
Next time I remember
And 1, 2, 3 and 1, 2, 3 and 1, 2, 3 and 1, 2, 3 and
Oh that's splendid your majesty
Splendid!
Splendid!
You throw me off count!
And 1, 2, 3 and 1, 2, 3 and 1, 2, 3 and 1, 2, 3 and 1, 2, 3
That is not right
Oh yes it is you were doing beautifully your majesty
No, no, not the way I see Europeans dancing tonight
Yes it was, it was just like that
Were not holding two hands like this
No, as a matter of fact
Was errrrr, like this, no?
Yes
Come!
I do not know you well
But when the music started something drew me to your side
So many men and girls
Are in each others arms
It made me think that we might be
Similarly occupied
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say good night and mean goodbye?
Or per chance when the last little star has left the sky
Shall we still be together with our arms around each other?
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Why do you stop? You dance pretty!
Go on, go on, go on!
Oh your majesty, I didn't realise
