The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

(Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman)

(Dance with me, Dance with me)

You can dance every dance

With the gut that gives you the eye;

Let him hold you tight

You can smile every smile

For the man who held your hand

Beneath the pale moonlight

So don't forget who's taking you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So, darlin', save the last dance for me

(Dance with me)

Oh I know that the music's fine

Like sparkling wine;

Go and have your fun

Laugh and sing,

But while we're apart

Don't give your heart to anyone

So don't forget who's taking you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So, darlin', save the last dance for me

Baby, don't you know I love you so?

Can't you feel it when we touch?

I will never, never let you go

I love you, oh so much

You can dance, go and carry on

Till the night is gone

It's time to go

If he asks if you're all alone,

Can he take you home,

You must tell him no

So don't forget who's taking you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So, darlin', save the last dance for me

[Solo]

So don't forget who's taking you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So, darlin', save the last dance for me

Dance with me

Dance with me

Dance with me

You can with me

Oh,

You can dance with me

So don't forget who's taking you home

And in whose arms you're gonna be

So, darlin', save the last dance for me

Save the last dance for me

Save the last dance for me

Save the last dance for me

Save the last dance for me, etc.
