Dancing Anita

 

We could wake up in the morning 

Before the sky starts to swell 

And we’ll head into the city 

And catch breakfast at the Chelsea Hotel 

You can be Janis and I’ll be Leonard singing low 

As you dance in the daylight and quietly steal the show 

 

You’re my dancing Anita and all I want is for you to dance for me 

 

I’m not the sensitive one 

I’m just a realist and a singer 

But this here song ain’t about me so let me just lay low 

See, you’re my lullaby and I can’t sleep without you 

And this song is about you cause I want you to know that 

 

You’re my dancing Anita and all I want is for you to dance for me 

 

And it’s okay for you to let yourself go 

And it’s not my job to tell you so 

You already know 

That you’re a beautiful mystery baby

So keep on dancing 

Just keep on dancing

And I’ll sing

 

I want to take you out walking 

In some diamond-plated shoes 

With a bottle of tequila baby we could shake off these poor boy blues 

And as I sing on the subway 

You can show off your moves 

We’ll make a little bit of money and I’ll head on home with you 

 

Cause you’re my dancing Anita and all I want is for you to dance for me

See you’re my dancing Anita and all I want is for you to dance

 

And it’s okay for you to let yourself go 

And it’s not my job to tell you so 

You already know 

That you’re a beautiful mystery baby

So keep on dancing 

Just keep on dancing

And I’ll sing
