Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Mister Music, those cheers you’re hearing
That crowd is cheering for you
Don’t get formal and bear down
Keep your spirit up, let your hair down
Mister Music, with dawn advancing
And so much dancing to do
Don’t get moody or mellow
This is not the night for a cello
No love songs, no torch songs
No “Lonely girl on a porch” songs
Take a dream song and wake it up
Tonight, let’s break it up
Mister Music, I like cantatas
And soft sonatas all right
But I like you best the way you are tonight
