as recorded by Dean Martin (radio transcript)
My lady loves to dance, my lady loves to sing,
My lady has the sparkle of a diamond ring.
When purple shadows fall and silver moonlight beams,
My lady loves to dance in my dreams.
She loves a carousel, a roller coaster ride,
A party or a picnic by the ocean side,
And like a laughin' brook that dances in the sun,
My lady has a barrel of fun.
Life is a gay thing, plaything, hit parade thing,
Not a worry, not a care.
If there's a trombone tootin', fluter a-flutin',
Sure as shootin' we'll be there!
My lady loves to dance, my lady loves to sing,
A schottische or a polka or a gaylin fling,
And when we kiss goodnight, the moment we're apart,
My lady loves to dance, my lady loves to sing,
Sing and dance in my heart!
Life is a gay thing, plaything, hit parade thing,
Not a worry, not a care.
If there's a trombone a-tootin', a fluter a-flutin',
Sure as shootin' we'll be there!
My lady loves to dance, my lady loves to sing,
A schottische or a polka or a gaylin fling,
And when we kiss goodnight, the moment we're apart,
My lady loves to dance, my lady loves to sing,
Sing and dance in my heart,
She loves to sing and dance in my heart!
