Please, Mr. Brown, take it easy, you're tearing my gown
Oh, I know music brings out that yearning
But right now we're learning to tango
Please, Mr. Jones, not so tight, you are crushing my bones
I'll just bet you're an expert at wooing
But right now we're doing the tango
You boys, in spite of all the dancing lessons you've bought
Out on the dance floor
You boys, in spite of all the dancing lessons you've bought
Have but one school of thought
And that is anything but what Arthur Murray taught
Please, Mr. Smith, it's a lady that you're dancing with
There's a time and a place for romancing
But not while we're dancing the tango
You guys are just a bunch of wolves in ivy-leaf clothes
You think as long as music's playing
Anything goes
No one who wants a fellow wants a slow one
But I'm a gal who wants to know one
Who knows what every lady knows
Please, Mr. Smith, it's a lady that you're dancing with
There's a time and a place for romancing
But not while we're dancing the tango
