Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Crosby sings pretty swell
Fred Astaire dances well
I’m that combination
That’s my reputation
Chorus
I’ll capture your heart singing
And then I’ll take you down the road with my dancing
Just wait till I start singing
And wait until you get a load of my dancing
I can’t go wrong, a tender song
And you’ll discover my charms
And then some taps and you’ll collapse
And fall right into my arms
I’ll capture your heart singing
And then we’ll start a romance
When I go into my dance
