[Nancy:]
I'm busy here, and so I fear
I can't spare you a minute!
[Teddy:]
I don't care what old job you're got,
For you can count me in it!
[Nancy:]
I dance or skate till rather late,
It takes my time up fully!
[Teddy:]
Oh, that's quite right, we'll dance all night!
It's bully! It's bully!
[Nancy:]
But will your style agree with mine?
[Teddy:]
You try awhile, we'll get it fine!
If I were to dance like you,
You and I, we two,
Then what a lovely dance we could do!
[Nancy:]
If you were to dance like me,
I can clearly see
That very soon our steps would agree!
[Nancy:]
It's rather nice upon the ice,
I'm skating all the time there!
[Teddy:]
I guess that then the other men
Will cut no ice when I'm there!
[Nancy:]
You must observe the way I curve,
The outside edge I'm great on!
[Teddy:]
You'll stare, I bet, when I can get
A skate on! A skate on!
[Nancy:]
You will not skate like me, I doubt!
[Teddy:]
At any rate, we'll sit it out!
If I were to skate like you,
You and I, we two,
Then what a lovely glide we could do!
[Nancy:]
If you were to skate like me,
I can clearly see
That very soon our styles would agree!
