GOT TO DANCE MY WAY TO HEAVEN

from "It's Love Again" 1936 film
Sam Coslow  1936

Jessie Matthews 
with Orchestra conducted by Lou Levy 
(film soundtrack)


I wear a cloak of mystery,
But darling, in reality,
There's not a thing to conceal!
Beneath my outward attitude
You'll find I'm really in a mood,
Breathless, romantic and real!

Got to dance, got to sing,
Got to have my little fling,
Got to dance my way to heaven right in your arms!
Got to hum, got to shout,
Got to kick my heels about,
Got to dance my way to heaven right in your arms!

I feel as high tonight as any kite,
And I'll soon be flying out of sight!
It's no spark that you've ignited,
It's a great big stick of dynamite!

Got to kiss and be kissed,
Cross the others off my list,
'Cause I can't rest your irrepressible sweet caressible charms,
Got to dance my way to heaven in your arms!

I feel as high tonight as any kite,
And I'll soon be flying out of sight!
It's no spark that you've ignited,
It's a great big stick of dynamite!

Got to kiss and be kissed,
Cross the others off my list,
'Cause I can't rest your irrepressible sweet caressible charms,
Got to dance my way to heaven in your arms!
