Two Left Feet

I don't want to dance Daddy you'll step on my feet I haven't any um-pa-pa dancing's not my treat. If I could stand on your shoes Dad then we'd slide cross the floor I'd know we'd do it, oh so right, and Mother would adore. I don't want to dance my Dear you'll step on my feet. we haven't any um-pa-pa dancing's not my treat Oh Daddy said our little girl child can I stand on your shoes I can not dance a lick you see and Baby has the blues. Fifty years have come and gone stepping on my feet, on starlit nights in our bedroom your feet make mine complete.

Thank You. This reading brought back memories of my childhood, dancing on my dads steel-toed logging boots in the kitchen. Very sweet.
