My One and Only Highland Fling (From "The Barkley of Broadway")

My One and Only Highland Fling - Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers

Though we're called a people of serious mind

'Tis often we dance 'tis often we sing

And bein' as human as all human-kind

We aren't superior to havin' a fling

I'm taking the fling of a lifetime

The fling of a husband and wife-time

A-when I a-went romancing

I a-gave no thought to any wedding ring

Every bonnie lassie was

My highland fling

A-no chance was I chancing

I' a-m not the man ya dangle on a string

I was canny waitin' for the

Real real thing

A-though I danced each girl in a twist and a-twirl

Ney one would do

And I went a-my way 'til the fatal day

In the fling I was flung a-with you

Oh

Now my heart is prancin'

A-gay as a lark and happy as a king

The years I'll weather in the hame on the heather

With my one and only highland fling

When I went a-dancin'

No special lad I was encouragin'

Every lackly laddie was

My highland fling

No glance I was glancin'

Well nothin' really worth a-mentionin'

Hopin' watchin' waitin' for the

Real real thing

Though they spoke me soft in the moonlit oft'

Ney one would do

'Til it came to pass to this lucky lass

In a fling I was flung with you

Oh

Now my heart is prancin'

Nothin' about ya I'd be alterin'

The years I'll weather in the hame on the heather

With me one and only highland fling
