Sweet Daisy is out dancing tonight Kicking her heels beneath the ballroom lights Spinning around in her red satin dress Laughing like she never learned to worry yet The bandleader raised his hand up high The brass came roaring like the Fourth of July Daisy took one step out onto the floor And everybody moved to give her more Oh, sweet Daisy Sweet, sweet Daisy Is out dancing tonight She is having the time The time of her life Swinging to the left Turning to the right Oh, sweet Daisy Sweet, sweet Daisy Keep dancing tonight The trumpet called and Daisy answered back With two quick steps and a heel-toe tap The drummer grinned and gave the snare a roll While Daisy danced like rhythm had a soul She spun past Charlie and his brand-new shoes Left poor Charlie with the dancing blues He tried to follow, but he missed the beat And landed smiling at the bandleader’s feet Oh, sweet Daisy Sweet, sweet Daisy Is out dancing tonight She is having the time The time of her life Swinging to the left Turning to the right Oh, sweet Daisy Sweet, sweet Daisy Keep dancing tonight The saxophone began to moan Daisy said, Don’t leave me dancing alone The whole room jumped when she waved her hand From the kitchen door to the big brass band Old folks shuffled Young folks swung Everybody danced before the night was done The waiter dropped a tray of pie Then danced right through it with his head held high Faster now Round she goes Where she stops Nobody knows The piano pounds The cymbals shine Daisy keeps everybody right on time Oh, sweet Daisy Sweet, sweet Daisy Is out dancing tonight She is having the time The time of her life Swinging to the left Turning to the right Oh, sweet Daisy Sweet, sweet Daisy Keep dancing tonight The clock struck twelve The band played slow The lights went low But Daisy said, No She clapped her hands The brass came back The drummer gave the snare another crack Oh, sweet Daisy Sweet, sweet Daisy Is still dancing tonight Kicking her heels up Spinning around Keeping every foot Moving over the ground Oh, sweet Daisy Sweet, sweet Daisy When the morning comes... She may still Be dancing Tonight
