Lyrics[]

Anna:

Shall we dance?

On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?

Shall we dance?

Shall we then say "good night" and mean "good-bye"?

Or, perchance

When the last little star has left the sky,

Shall we still be together

With our 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 dan--

Anna: (Dialogue)
One, two, three, and
one, two, three, and
one, two, three, and...

(singing) Shall we dance?

King Mongkut:
One, two, three and?

Anna:
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?

King Mongkut:
One, two, three and?

Anna:
Shall we dance?

King Mongkut:
One, two, three and?

Anna:
Shall we then say "Goodnight and mean "Goodbye"?

King Mongkut:
One, two, three and?
Or perchance,
When the last little star has left the sky,

Anna:
Shall we still be together
With our arms around each other
And shall you be my new...

King Mongkut:
Romance?

Anna:
On the clear understanding
That this kind of thing can happen,

Both:
Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we Dance?

Anna: (Dialogue)
Now. One, two, three, and
one, two, three, and
one, two, three, and...

(Instrumental interlude)

Both: (Dialogue)
One, two, three, and
one, two, three, and
one, two, three, and...

(Instrumental interlude)

Anna: (Dialogue)
And one, two, three, and
one, two, three, and
one, two, three, and...
