I Would Like to Dance [Live on The Old Grey Whistle Test]

Janis Ian

[Intro]
Ha ha

[Verse 1]
Look at me, I would like to dance
But I haven't the clothes for romance
So I stay with the boys in the band
I would like to be cool
Like the ladies who drool as they advance
But I can't get my feet to go where I lead with my toes

[Verse 2]
At the debutante's ball everybody does all they can do to enhance
Every corset in town in a gown made specially in France
And the men here can tell at a glance
I would like to maintain
But it surе seems a shame to sit on my hands
And I only got into the swim by the sеat of my pants

[Bridge]
Not another woman in the world
Who could make a living
Pitching the light fandango
Dancing on the streets of the city
Look at me, I'm playing freelance at the ball
Catch my entrance to the hall
Far from the gilded lily

[Verse 3]
Look at me, I would like to dance
I've a book illustrating the stance
And I can't get my head to go where I lead with my toes
I feel solo

[Piano Solo]

[Outro]
Thank you.
