Aurthur Murry Taught Me Dancing In A Hurry

Aurthur Murry Taught Me Dancing In A Hurry - Jimmy Dorsey

And one and two

And two and one

Aw shucks I can't dance

Life was so peaceful at the laundry

Life was so calm and serene

Life was tres gay

Till that unlucky day

I happened to read that magazine

Why did I read that advertisement

Where it says

Since I rumba jim thinks I'm sublime

Why oh why

Did I ever try

When I didn't have the talent

I didn't have the money

And teacher did not have the time boy

Arthur murray

Taught me dancin' in a hurry

I had a week to spare

He showed me the ground work

The walkin' around work

And told me take it from there

Arthur murray

Then advised me not to worry

It would come out all right

To my way of thinkin'

My dance is stinkin'

I don't know my left from my right

The people around me can all sing

A one and a two and a three

But any resemblance to waltzing

Is just coincidental with me

'Cause arthur murray

Taught me dancin' in a hurry

And so I take a chance

To me it resembles

The nine day trembles

But he guarantees it's a dance

My tango resembles a two step

My rumba makes people turn pale

My conga goes into a goose step

Till the FBI is doggin' my trail

'Cause arthur murray

Taught me dancin' in a hurry

Maybe the stars were wrong

If I ain't a menace

To ruth st dennis

I'll do until one comes along

Turkey trot

Or gavotte

Don't know which

Don't know what

Jitterbug

Bunny hug

Long as you

Cut a rug

Walk the dog

Do the frog

Lindy hop

Till you drop

Ball the jack

Back to back

Cheek to cheek

Till you're weak

You've heard of pavlova'

Well jack move over

Make way for the queen of the dance
