Lyrics
While there’s music sweet
With a rhythmic beat and a melody romantic
Let me dance with you
Till the night is thru
While there’s music there’s romance
‘Round and ’round we’ll glide
While my eyes confide
Love is hiding in their glance
Tho the moments fly
Tho the night must die
While there’s music there’s romance
Music means joy, so clap hands (clap, clap)
Each girl and boy now clap hands (clap, clap)
Let’s all be gay ad clap hands (clap, clap)
Let’s dance away and clap hands (clap, clap)
While there’s music, there’s magic
While there’s magic, there’s lovelight
In this lovelight my heart has a chance
To pretend at last love has found me
While your arms are around me
And tho dawn ends the dream and the dance
While there’s music there’s sweet romance
