They Call It Dancing

Irving Berlin

    Continues after the ad

    [Verse:]
    Years ago when I was just a wee little thing
    A man never squeezed a girl till she got the ring
    They were both engaged before the boy took a chance
    But now all he has to do is ask her to dance

    [1st refrain:]
    They call it dancing, you see them cuddled up tight
    They're only dancing so ev'rything is all right

    Until the midnight cabaret closes
    You can see he and she rubbing noses

    She calls him "Mister" They're only friends it appears
    And then he'll twist her like they've been married for years

    Continues after the ad

    A man can squeeze all the she's
    With his arms and his knees
    And they call it dancing, that's all

    [2nd refrain:]
    They call it dancing, you see them cuddled up tight
    They're only dancing so ev'rything is all right

    Until the midnight cabaret closes
    You can see he and she rubbing noses

    If it's a ballroom she doesn't mind his embrace
    But in a hallroom she'd slap him right in the face

    A man can grab someone's wife
    Have the time of his life
    And they call it dancing, that's all
