Lyrics
- What does my heart most desire
What am I craving for
A tune to set my feet on fire
And a ballroom floor
In the winter, in the summer
In the spring or fall
In the morning, in the evening
Any time at all
Chorus
An earful of music
An armful of you
A soul full of rhythm
Who could ever be blue
A room full of dancers
With still room for two
My heart’s beating dance-time
When I’m dancing with you
I don’t care if the sun goes down
If the skies are blue or black
I just know I’m goin’ to town
And I’m coming back
With an earful of music
An armful of you
A soul full of rhythm
Who could ever be blue
- I keep saying all day long
“Work is an awful crime”
For I was made for lights and song
And the evening time
Trumpets tootin’, trombones moaning
Fiddles sighing low
Anywhere they’re saxophoning
That’s where I must go
