Roof Garden

Does anyone wanna go
waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go
dance up on the roof?
(repeat)
On the town,
Sequins evening gown.
Climb those stairs
To that ballroom in the air
Get to poppin.'
chorus
If you dare,
Dream of yesteryear.
In the air
Do a step with Fred Astaire.
Get your top hat.
chorus
You can be
What you want to be
Come waltz with me
Or a hot steppin' boogie.
Funk in the pocket.
chorus
No one stays
In downtown these days.
Country calls
Got us one and all.
B'fore we end
Let me reccommend
What to do
When your heart is light or blue.
Get to steppin.'
Does anyone wanna go
waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go
dance up on the roof?
