Everybody Dance

Life's a party
 Why don't you come to the steel pier?
 No one's ever gloomy or glum
 At the steel pier
 Ladies and gentlemen, your marathon host
 Mick Hamilton!
 Live! From the glorious marine ballroom
 On the world famous steel pier!
 It's the 1933 Atlantic City dance marathon!
 Coming to you tonight and
 Every night on WFPG
 You know, folks, I have run marathons from Catalina to Kalamazoo
 And never have I seen a dance floor filled with more confident couples!
 Each couple certain they can outlast the others
 And claim that pot of gold worth $2,000!
 In just a few moments, this glorious marathon will get underway!
 And suddenly, everyone's earthly cares and woes will vanish into ether
 As our boys and girls do what the smart set does to pass the time
 When you feel the
 World is sitting
 On your shoulders
 Dance!
 When your troubles
 Feel as big as
 Ten ton boulders
 Dance!
 Dance your blues off
 Tap bad news off
 Shag your shoes off
 And worries waltz away
 When you feel an anger deep inside
 That smolders
 Dance!
 Dance, mister
 Dance, sister!
 Come on everybody, dance!
 Gentlemen, our clock is telling us you have just five minutes
 Before the starting gun
 And while you're claiming your girls
 I'll show you mine! Meet Mick's picks!
 Come on, gals, let's heat it up
 Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance!
 Dance your blues off, ahhh
 Tap bad news off, ahhh
 (Tip tap tip tap tip)
 Shag your shoes off
 And worries waltz away
 Away
 When you feel an
 Anger deep inside
 That smolders
 Dance!
 Dance!
 Dance, mister
 Dance, sister!
 Come on
 Everybody, dance!
 Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance!
 Dance! Dance!
 That's right boys, give me some sass!
 Hey hey, take a look at this? Brand new step!

 All right, separate. You can bunny hug
 But you can't grizzly bear
 But this is how we get a sponsor
 This is how we get shut down
 Everybody, rhumba!
 Well, wah wah wah, look who just joined up
 Let's throw a spotlight on Olympic champion Johnny Adel!
 And his partner, and first time marathoner, Dora Foster
 How about it, Johnny?
 You gonna break a few records for us?
 Ah, ah! Businessmen! Do you like what you see?
 Sponsor your favorites
 They get your vote of confidence!
 You get their backs
 And while you're deciding just who's going to be your sweet patootie
 Why not consider couple number 17?
 Go on now - let that cat meow meow meow!

 That's brother and sister sensation, Bette and Buddy Becker!
 Now that's floor polish
 Come on everybody, let's rip up the joint
 When you feel the
 World is sitting
 On your shoulders
 Oh, it's you again
 You're still waiting for your partner, huh?
 Yes, but I'm sure he'll be here any minute. Thanks for asking
 When your troubles
 Feel as big as
 Ten ton boulders
 Because if your partner doesn't show I'm still available
 Well, you'll be the first to know. I promise. Thanks again
 Dance your blues off
 Tap bad news off
 Shag your shoes off
 And worries waltz away
 When you feel
 An anger deep inside
 That smolders
 Dance! Dance!
 Dance, mister
 Dance, sister!

 Everybody, dance!
