Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I wear a cloak of mystery
But darling, in reality
There’s not a thing to conceal
Beneath my outward attitude
You’ll find I’m really in a mood
Restless, romantic and real
Chorus:
Got to dance, got to sing
Got to have my little fling
Got to dance my way to heaven
Right in your arms
Got to hum, got to shout
Got to kick my heels about
Got to dance my way to heaven
Right in your arms
I feel as high tonight as any kite
And I’ll soon be flying out of sight
It’s no spark that you’ve ignited
It’s a great big stick of dynamite
Got to kiss and be kissed
Cross the others off my list
‘Cos I can’t resist your irrepressible
Sweet caressable charms
Got to dance my way
To heaven in your arms
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
