The Jitterbug Waltz - Abbey Lincoln/Hank Jones

作词：Richard Maltby Jr.

作曲：Fats Waller/Richard Maltby Jr.

The night is getting on the band is getting slow

The crowd is almost gone and here we are still

Dancin'

Nothing to do but waltz

Our feet can barely move my legs are yellin' whoa

But we're in such a groove that love is still

Advancin'

Nothing to do but waltz

You can't suggest that we could go on jitter buggin'

We've nothing left for moves more strenuous than huggin'

But we don't need much room to gently cut a

Rug in we two

I'm tired and out of juice and yet from head

To toe

My body's feeling loose and warm and kind of supple

Nothing to do but waltz

The minutes slip away my arms just won't let go

I think I'd like to stay 'til we're the only

Couple nothing to do but waltz

You never know how far this sort of thing will

Get you

We're not as tired as we would like to think

I bet you

You'd stay up half the night with me if I

Would let you

So come let the waltz play again
