Life was so peaceful at the laundry

Life was so calm and serene

Life was tres gay

Till that unlucky day

I happened to read that magazine

Why did I read that advertisement

Where it says Since

I rumba Jim thinks I'm sublime

Why oh why Did I ever try

When I didn't have the talent

I didn't have the money

And teacher did not have the time Mau

Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry

I had a week to spare

He showed me the ground work

The walkin' around work

And told me take it from there

Arthur Murray Then advised me not to worry

It would come out all right

To my way of thinkin' it's came up stinkin'

I don't know my left from my right

The people around me can all sing

A one and a two and a three

But any resemblance to waltzing

Is just coincidental with me

'Cause Arthur Murray

Taught me dancin' in a hurry

And so I took a chance

To me it resembles The nine day trembles

But he guarantees it's a dance

My tango resembles a two step

My rumba makes people turn pale

My conga goes into a goose step

Till the F B I is doggin' my trail

'Cause Arthur Murray

Taught me dancin' in a hurry

Maybe the stars were wrong

If I ain't a menace To Ruth St Dennis

I'll do until one comes along

Turkey trot

Or gavotte

Don't know which

Don't know what

Jitterbug Bunny hug Long as you

Cut a rug

Do the frog Lindy hop Till you drop

Ball the jack

Back to back

Cheek to cheek

Till you're weak

You've heard of Pavlova

Well Jack move over

Make way for the queen
