Shall We Dance? Lyrics


												
														   Anna

 [Spoken]

 Oh but it's very exciting, when you're young at your first dance,

 and you're sitting on a small quilt chair with your eyes lowered,

 terrified that you'd be a wallflower. And suddenly you see two 

 black shoes, a white waistcoat, a face, it speakes... 

 

 Anna

 [Sung]

 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 we might be

 Similarly occupied.

 Shall we dance?

 On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?

 Shall we dance?

 Shall we then say "Goodnight and mean "Goodbye"?

 Or perchance,

 When the last little star has left the sky,

 Shall we still be together

 With are 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?

 

 [Dialog]

 Anna

 Mm mm mm...

 Mm mm mm...

 

 King

 Why'd you stop? You dance pretty , go on, go on, go on!

 

 Anna

 Oh your Majesty I didn't realize, after all I'm not a 

 Dancing girl...In England no woman would dance while a

 Man is looking at her...

 

 King

 But you will dance with strange men, holding hands, etcetera. 

 

 Anna

 Yes, but not always a stranger. Usually a very good friend.

 

 King

 Good, then we will dance together! You show me. 

 Teach, teach, teach!

 

 Anna

 Well, it's quite simple, the polka. You count one, two, three

 and one, two, three and one, two, three...

 

 Shall we dance?

 

 King

 One, two, three and?

 

 Anna

 On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?

 

 King

 One, two, three and?

 

 Anna

 Shall we dance?

 

 King

 One, two, three and?

 

 Anna

 Shall we then say "Goodnight and mean "Goodbye"?

 

 King

 One, two, three and?

 

 Anna

 Or perchance,

 When the last little star has left the sky,

 Shall we still be together

 With are arms around each other

 And shall you be my new romance?

 On the clear understanding

 That this kind of thing can happen,

 

 Both

 Shall we dance?

 Shall we dance? Shall we Dance?

 

 Anna

 One, two, three and one, two, three and

 One, two, three and one, two, three and

 

 King

 One, two, three, one, two, three

 One, two... Something wrong!

 I know, I know, I forgot "AND" next time

 I'll remember!

 

 Both

 And one, two, three and one, two, three and

 One, two, three and ...

 

 Anna

 Oh that's splendid, your Majesty!

 

 King

 Splendid! Splendid!

 

 Both

 And one, two, three and one, two, three and

 One, two, three and ...

 

 King

 That is not right!

 

 Anna

 Yes, it is! You're doing beautifully, your Majesty.

 

 King

 Not the way I see Europeans dance tonight.

 

 Anna

 Yes, it was! It was just like that!

 

 King

 We're not holding two hands, like this.

 

 Anna

 No. As a matter of fact...

 

 King

 Or no-o-o-ot like this.

 

 Anna

 Yes.

 

 King

 Come!
