Dolly:
Put your hand on her waist and stand
With her right in your left hand
And one two three, one two three, one two three

Cornelius:
Look I'm dancing!
Well, I was.

Dolly:
Of course you were, mr. Hackl!
Take the someone whose arms you're in
Hold onto her tight and spin
And one two three, one two three, one two three

Cornelius:
Wow, I'm dancing!

Dolly:
Turn around and turn around, try floating through the air
Can't you be a little more aesthetic?

Cornelius:
Don't you think my dancing has a polish and a flair?

Dolly:
The word I think I'd use is athletic!

Cornelius:
Well my heart is about to burst
My head is about to pop
And now that I'm dancing who cares if I ever stop!
Look at lne, everybody! I, cornelius hackl...sport
Am dancing!

Dolly:
You're next, mr. Tucker!
Glide and step and then step and glide

Barnaby:
And everyone stand aside!

Cornelius:
He's dancing!

Dolly:
You could learn to polka if you worked a week or so
Or the tango filled with passion seething

Barnaby:
I might join the chorus of the castle garden show

Dolly:
Whatever you do for gosh shakes keep breathing

All:
For my heart is about to burst
My head is about to pop
And now that I'm dancing who cares if I ever stop!

Mrs. Molloy:
When there's someone you hardly know
But wish you were closer to
Remember that he can be near to you
While you're dancing
Though you've only just said "hello"
He's suddenly someone who
Can make all your daydreams appear to you
While you're dancing
Make the music weave a spell
Whirl away your worry
Things look almost twice as well
When you're slightly blurry

Dolly:
As around and around you go
Your spirits will hit the top

All:
And now that we're dancing
Who cares if we ever stop

All:
One-two-three
One-two-three
One-two
And now that we're dancing
Who cares if we ever stop
