It's very exciting when you're young and you're sitting on a small gilt chair, your eyes lowered, terrified that you'll be a wallflower. And then suddenly you see two black shoes, white waistcoat, a face. It speaks. We've just been introduced. I do not know you well. But when the music started, something drew me to your side. So many men and girls are in each other's arms. It made me think we might be similarly occupied. Shall we dance? On a bright cloud of music, shall we fly? Shall we dance? Shall we then say goodnight, I mean goodbye? Or perchance, when the last little star has left the sky, shall we still be together with our arms around each other? And shall you be my new romance? On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen, shall we dance, shall we dance, shall we dance? Why do you stop? You dance pretty. Go on, go on, go on. Oh no, Your Majesty, I didn't realise I was... After all, I'm not a dancing girl. And we don't... That is, a girl would not dance while a man was looking at her. But she will dance with strange men holding hand, etc, etc. Yes, not always a strange man, sometimes a very good friend. Good. We dance together. You show me. You teach, you teach, you teach. Right. It's quite simple, the poker, Your Majesty. It just goes one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three. Shall we dance? One, two, three, and... On a bright cloud of music, shall we fly? One, two, three, and... Shall we dance? One, two, three, and... Shall we then say goodnight and mean goodbye? One, two, three, and... Or perchance, when the last little star has leave the sky, shall we still be together with our arms around each other, and shall you be my new romance? On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen, shall we dance, shall we dance, shall we dance? Now, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, and one, two, three. What is wrong? I forget, and this time I remember. And one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three. Oh, that's splendid, Your Majesty. Splendid. One, two, three. Yes. You throw me off count. And one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three. But this is not right. Oh, no, you're doing wonderfully, Your Majesty. But it's not right. It's not like I see Europeans dancing tonight. Yes, it was. It was just like that. Was not holding two hand like this. Oh, no. As a matter of fact, it wasn't. Was like this, no? Yes. Come. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
