Can Can

 

Are we to assume that this girl’s in love

I mean the beating of the heart that should be enough

But then the old world music starts to tumble down

And the legs start moving like a merry go ‘round

 

Are we to assume that it’s good for me

To be the object of the stares and the mockery

I want this old world music tune to stay that way

And accept these feelings in a quiet way

 

Well, my right leg is skipping and my left leg is too

Gotta blame it on someone, gonna blame it on you

 

This beat – ‘cause of your nothing

This beat -  ‘cause of your nerves

This beat – ‘cause of your presence isn’t so sure

 

Hey man, I couldn’t help it

Hey man, I couldn’t help it

Hey man, I couldn’t help the can can

 

Are we to assume that this chemistry

The sort of thing that’s going on beats me new

And me’s gonna last forever ‘cause I’m not that strong

When you can can in the way the can can come

 

Take me in your arms hold me extra tight

And maybe you can keep me still for a single night

And we can move like lovers ought to move at night

And I can can over in my dreams tonight

 

Well, my right leg is skipping and my left leg is too

Gotta blame it on someone, gonna blame it on you

 

Are we to assume this is love

Are we to assume this is love

Are we to assume this is love
