(If you dance with a wonderful girl)
From the 1920 show “Baby Blues”
words by Alex Rogers

The sheet music:
Lyrics
It is bad form to boast of your favorite dance
At times every dance is the same
Each dance has some movements of course which enhance
And each dance has a different name
But that anyone dance could by any chance
Be the best dance why that’s all a myth
There the argument ends for the whole thing depends
On who you are dancing with
Chorus
Any old dance is a wonderful dance
When you dance with a wonderful girl
The tamest old dance is a jewelled romance
Surrounding some diamond or pearl
In a castle of dreams where each move it seems
A part of some heavenly whirl
Ah, any old dance is wonderful dance
When you dance with a wonderful girl
