Shall We Dance? (Karaoke/Instrumental)

LYRICS:

[Anna]
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say "Goodnight and mean "Goodbye"?
Or perchance,
When the last little star has left the sky,
Shall we still be together
With are 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?

[King]
Why do you stop? You dance pretty. Go on go on!

[Anna]
Your Majesty, I -- I didn't realise I was -- after all, in my country a girl would not dance while a man was looking on.

[King]
But she will dance with strange man, holding hands etc etc

[Anna]
Yes. Not always a strange man. Sometimes a very good friend.

[King]
Good. We dance together. You show me. You teach you teach you teach.

[Anna]
It's very simple the polka. It goes one two three and one two three and one two three and
Shall we dance?

[King]
One, two, three and?

[Anna]
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?

[King]
One, two, three and?

[Anna]
Shall we dance?

[King]
One, two, three and?

[Anna]
Shall we then say "Goodnight and mean "Goodbye"?

[King]
One, two, three and?

[Anna]
Or perchance,
When the last little star has left the sky,
Shall we still be together
With are arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding
That this kind of thing can happen,

[Both]
Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we Dance?

[They Dance.]

[Anna]
One two three and

[King]
One two three, one two three. What is wrong? I know I know I forget and. This time I remember.

[Both]
One two three and one two three and one two three and

[Anna]
That's splendid your Majesty

[King]
Splendid. One two and. You have thrown me off count
One two three and one two three and but this is not right.

[Anna]
Yes it is. You were doing

[King]
No no no. Is not right. Not the way I see Europeans dancing tonight.

[Anna]
Yes it was. It was just like that.

[King]
No. Were not holding two hands like this.

[Anna]
Oh No as a matter of fact

[King]
Was like this. No?

[Anna]
Yes.

[King]
Come!

[They Dance.]
