Now I live day to day
Most of us live that way
We've jobs to work
And chores to shirk
And those bills to pay
I've tired of this routine
I want a different scene
To sit and sigh
As life goes by
Just isn't for me
[Chorus:]
I'll dance backwards in high heels
And perfect hair
Twirl my twirls in satin negligee
If you'll be my Fred Astaire
Martinis and champagne
Dancing in the rain
At each soiree gay repartee
Each summer in Spain
Why be content with less
Than life lived at its best?
The safe and sane
May choose mundane
But let's effervesce, baby
[Chorus:]
I'll dance backwards in high heels
And perfect hair
Twirl my twirls in satin negligee
If you'll be my Fred Astaire
[Bridge:]
Let's have a glamorous romance
Who cares if we dance to the beat of a different drum?
Parumparumparumparumparum…
[Chorus:]
I'll dance backwards in high heels
And perfect hair
Twirl my twirls in satin negligee
If you'll be my Fred Astaire
