Jitterbug Waltz Songtext
von Cécile McLorin Salvant

The night is getting on
The band is getting slow
The crowd is almost gone
And here we are still dancing
Nothin′ to do but waltz

Our feet can barely move
My legs are yelling "woah!"
But we're in such a groove
That love is still advancing
Nothin′ to do but waltz

You can't suggest that we could go on jitterbuggin'
We′ve nothin′ left for moves more strenuous than huggin'
But we don′t need much room to gently cut a rug in, we two

I'm tired and out of juice
And yet from head to toe
My body′s feeling loose and warm and kinda superb
Nothin' to do but waltz


The minutes slip away
My arms just won′t let go
I think I'd like to stay 'til we′re the only couple
Nothin′ to do but waltz

You never know how far this sort of thing will get you
We're not as tired as we would like to think, I bet you
You′d stay up half the night with me if I would let you
So come, let the waltz play again

The night is getting on
The band is getting slow
The crowd is almost gone
And here we are still dancing
Nothin' to do but waltz

Our feet can barely move
My legs are yelling "woah!"
But we′re in such a groove
That love is still advancing
Nothin' to do but waltz

You can′t suggest that we could go on jitterbuggin'
We've nothing left for moves more strenuous than huggin′
But we don′t need much room to gently cut a rug in, we two


I'm tired and out of juice
And yet from head to toe
My body′s feeling loose and warm and kinda superb
Nothin' to do but waltz

The minutes slip away
My arms just won′t let go
I think I'd like to stay ′til we're the only couple
Nothin' to do but waltz

You never know how far this sort of thing will get you
We′re not as tired as we would like to think, I bet you
You′d stay up half the night with me if I would let you
So come, let the waltz play again
