the music that makes me dance

[trying to help

fanny puts up $20

000 so that nick

can become a theatrical agent

but he sees through

her ploy and it angers and humiliates him. desperate

for money

he agrees to participate in a fraudulent

bond deal and is arrested for embezzlement. fanny realizes that somehow she has driven nick to this:]

i add two and two

the most simple addition

then swear that the figures are lying

i'm a much better comic than mathematician

'cause i'm better on stage than at intermission

and as far as the man is concerned

if i've been burned

i haven't learned. i know he's around when the sky and the ground start in ringing

i know that he's near by the thunder i hear in advance

his words--his words alone--are the words that can start my heart singing

and his is the only music that makes me dance. he'll sleep and he'll rise

in the light of two eyes that adore him. bore him it might

but he won't leave my sight for a glance. in ev'ry way

ev'ry day

i need less of myself and need more him--more him

'cause his is the only music that makes me dance

'cause his is the only music that makes me dance.
