Teach Me to Dance Like Grandma Lyrics

1928 Broadway
This Year of Grace the Musical - Teach Me to Dance Like Grandma Lyrics

Music and lyrics by Noël Coward.

I'm getting tired of jazz tunes
Monotonous,
They've gotten us
Crazy now.
Thought they're amusing as tunes
Music has gone somehow.
I hear the moaning
Groaning
Of a saxophone band,
It simply shakes me,
Makes me
Want to play a
Lone hand.
Please understand
I want an age that has tunes
Simple and slow,
I'm feeling so
Lazy now.

(Refrain:)
Teach me to dance like Grandma used to dance,
I refuse to dance Blues.
Black Bottoms, Charlestons,
What wind blew them in,
Monkeys do them in zoos.
Back in the past the dancing signified
Just a dignified glow.
They didn't have to be so strong
Though they revolved the whole night long.
Teach me to dance like Grandma used to dance
Sixty summers ago!
