Shall we dance?

VERSE 1

I’m Prince Dimitri
Looking for a mate
Like an iron filing
Pulled by fate
So elementary
Someone who relates
Scanning the ballroom
My partner to await

Scanning the ballroom
My partner to await

CHORUS

Dance the Tango
The Fandango
Your heart knows where it wants to go, and
Feel the rhythm
In your body
Join me as I make my moves

VERSE 2

The Duke of Hiram
Discovers Oxana
By the fountain
Italiana
Indigo mask
In the moonlight she basks
Water tumbles and churns
Drains away and then returns

Tumbles and churns
Drains away and then returns

CHORUS

BRIDGE

One step forward
One step back
Staccato feet go
Clickity clack

Imagination
Inspiration
Expectation
Motivation
Celebration
New relation

CHORUS

VERSE 3

Nathan the Count
Sets out and meets Chlorinda
Instant chemistry
You know if you’ve been there
She sports a mask
Snow-white chiffon
The band keeps playing
On and on

The band keeps playing
On and on

BRIDGE 2

Salt of the earth
Embrace each other
Pure ecstasy
Of a new-found lover

VERSE 4

I’m drawn
To your noble line
The 1%
I have in mind
You sashay
With your cat-ear mask
Opera gloves and
Eau de nil sash

VERSE 5

From time to time
You come around
The golden moment
I have in mind
I place myself
In your outer orbit
You’re aware
It’s hard to ignore it

You’re aware
It’s hard to ignore it
