I Wanna be a Dancin' Man

words by Johnny Mercer Music By Harry Warren

From "The Belle of New York"

WANNA BE A DANCIN MAN, while I can, Gonna leave my footsteps on the sands of time, If I never leave a dime. Never be a millionaire, I don't care, I'll be rich as old King Midas might have been Least intil the tide comes in Let other men build mighty nations, and buildings to the sky, I'll leave a few creations to show that I was a dancin by, I wanna be free as any bird can be, yes siree, Gonna leave my footsteps on the sands of time,. if I never leave a dime, dime. A dancin man with footsteps on the sands of rhythm....and rhyme.
