Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The night is getting on, the band is getting slow
The crowd is almost gone and here we are still dancing
Nothing to do but waltz
[Verse 2]
Our feet can barely move, my legs are yellin', "Whoa"
But we're in such a groove that love is still advancing
Nothing to do but waltz
[Verse 3]
You can't suggest that we could go on Jitterbuggin'
We've got nothing left for moves more strenuous than huggin'
But we don't need much room to gently cut a rug in we two
[Verse 4]
I'm tired and out of juice and yet from head to toe
My body's feeling loose and warm and kind of supple
Nothing to do but waltz
[Verse 5]
The minutes slip away, my arms just won't let go
I think I'd like to stay till we're the only couple
Nothing to do but waltz
[Verse 6]
You never know how far this sort of thing will get you
We're not as tired as we would like to think, I bet you
You'd stay up half the night with me if I would let you
So come, let the waltz play again
[Verse 7]
The night is getting on, the band is getting slow
The crowd is almost gone and here we are still dancing
Nothing to do but waltz
[Verse 8]
Our feet can barely move, my legs are yellin', "Whoa"
But we're in such a groove that love is still advancing
Nothing to do but waltz
[Verse 9]
You can't suggest that we could go on Jitterbuggin'
We've got nothing left for moves more strenuous than huggin'
But we don't need much room to gently cut a rug in we two
[Verse 10]
I'm tired and out of juice and yet from head to toe
My body's feeling loose and warm and kind of supple
Nothing to do but waltz
[Verse 11]
The minutes slip away, my arms just won't let go
I think I'd like to stay till we're the only couple
Nothing to do but waltz
[Verse 12]
You never know how far this sort of thing will get you
We're not as tired as we would like to think, I bet you
You'd stay up half the night with me if I would let you
So come, let the waltz play again
