Many If's of Life and Dancing

Many If's of Life and Dancing


If you think you can make yourself look so delicious and attractive
Yet at times frills and puffs can enhance your curly locks with delight;

If you entice you’re loving eyes: make your arms well defined and active
Then your tender delicate manners will not lose graces of your lovely sight;

If you practice dancing moves, like Fred Astaire dancing the mighty Ritz
Try playing and giving into a timely visual light up-beat song and hold,

Enjoy all that life has to offer with your friends and romancing into a fritz
Make friendliness your tender and inviting a firm grip of purest gold,

If you can speak and master the French, Irish and even speak Latin
And find out you have to acquire, a well-refined mind and not be so mien,

If you can feel the lavish scent of my long dress of silky satin
Can you not feel like calico as I dance the Ritz so I may reign?

If you play the piano and use your well-gloved hand and jam
Can you not hear the tempo of the beat and not have to pretend?

When you’re out and dancing in rhythm while you're out on a lamb
If we keep dancing neath the chandelier I know we're true friends,

Can you sing the tune" Fly me to the moon" as we dance beneath the stars
If you can play the piano bars and string along to a song as you must,

Then you'll be dancing with me under-Neath the glistening stars by far
While we keep feeling our earnest bodies dancing and loving as we just,

If sometimes you can hold me as tenderly as we dance in unison tempo
In this mighty gifted tranquil place as we're both putting on the Ritz,

While we're enraptured and enshrined like harmonies sweet kiss even though
If you place your soft hands in mine while they're playing our songs of hits,

And if we're still together as the stillness of the night lingers on
Till we both dance to our true love song till the early morning dawn.
