I CAN'T TELL A WALTZ FROM A TANGO
(Dick Manning / Al Hoffman)

Alma Cogan

Also recorded by : Pee Wee King; Enoch Light.


I can't tell a waltz from a tango
I never know what my feet are gonna do
Oh I can't tell a waltz from a tango
Darling when I dance with you

The music sounds inviting dear
And you are so exciting dear
But every time you hold me near
I seem to lose my sense of rhythm
when your cheek is next to mine

I can't tell a waltz from a tango
I never know what my feet are gonna do
Oh I can't tell a waltz from a tango
Darling when I dance with you

If this is love it's new to me
Oh won't you give some clue to me
I don't know what you do to me
I seem to lose my sense of rhythm
when your cheek is next to mine

I can't tell a waltz from a tango
I never know what my feet are gonna do
No, I can't tell a waltz from a tango
Darling when I dance with you

(Orchestral Break)

I know the dance steps old and new
I've even won a prize or two
But when I steal a kiss from you
I seem to lose my sense of rhythm
when your cheek is next to mine

I can't tell a waltz from a tango
I never know what my feet are gonna do
Oh I can't tell a waltz from a tango
Darling when I dance with you
Darling when I dance with you
Darling when I dance with you
