Take your partners for the dance
Quick before you miss the chance
Make your loving while you can
Or she'll find another man who will

Losing someone makes you sad
Makes you feel that life is bad
So sad, drives you mad

Once upon a time there was
So there is still
Loving of a kind
That rang here
Until doors began to close
And love was left screaming
When life was diagnosed
By the doctors of dreaming

La la la etc

(voice) 'and now , ladies and gentlemen,
There's just time to grab the nearest
Human being for the one chance dance!'
