Peter Paul and Mary, Would You Like to Learn to Dance

Peter Paul and Mary, Would You Like to Learn to Dance

Lyrics:

Would you like to learn to dance?
Well I can show you how
Gotta book here, all you need to know
We can draw the Arthur Murray patterns right here on the floor.
All ya have to do is follow.
And then we'll dance around the room a while
You can lead now if you want to, I don't mind.
Nothin' I wouldn't do to see your smile
Go dancin' 'cross your face in perfect time
Go dancin' 'cross your face in perfect time.
Would you like to learn to sing?
Well I can teach you how
Here's an old tune that's good for a start
I can sing all the high parts if I really try
And you can play along on your guitar
And we'll sing together for a little while
Let the harmonies go ringin' in your mind
And we sing so much better when we sing with a smile
All the notes come out so sweet and high.
All the notes come out so sweet and high.
Would you like to learn to love?
Well, that's somethin' else again
I can show you how to sing and how to dance
I have no keys to open your heart
And no way I can make you take the chance.
And so we'll dance around the room again
And we'll sing a tune or two to pass the time
And smile a while and by the time the dance is through
There might be some love for us to find
There might be some love for you and me to find.

Mary, Mary, Mary... I won't dance with my wife, but had you but asked me, you could have taught me to dance, to sing, to love... Every time I watch you I feel like if only you would turn and speak to me alone... I would give it all up and, as you say in the song, I would only need to "follow".

less folky than ealier stuff but it show's off mary's abilitiy to sing other styles.

this was marvelous.

I don't know where you get these vids but they are good. I saw PP&M in Oregon at the UO amphitheater years ago. My video of Wedding Song was forced off YouTube after 1/4 million views. thanks for sending this, please send more. :0)
