Lyrics
The music is bright and I’m feeling so light
It’s a wonderful contest and I don’t think
That I should miss my one big chance
So, I’m gonna dance, I wanna dance
I gotta dance
I wanna, I wanna, I gotta, I gotta
You gotta give me a chance
Refrain
You’re gonna dance with me, Willie
That’s what you’re gonna do
You’re gonna dance with me, Willie
I’ve got my eye on you
Come on and dance it up, Willie
This is my lucky day
We’re gonna win a cup, Willie
We’ll take the prize away
I’ve got to have my Willie
Or I’d rather wind up dancing alone
No other guy
I wanna winner, not a beginner
No other gal for you, Willie
What makes you think you’re free?
Tell all the others to dance with their brothers
That’s how it’s got to be
We’ll win the cup, steal the prize
Right before their very eyes
‘Cause you’re gonna dance with me, Willie
