0:00:06 > 0:00:11# A fine romance, my friend this is

0:00:11 > 0:00:15# We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes

0:00:17 > 0:00:21# But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes

0:00:22 > 0:00:27# A fine romance, you won't nestle

0:00:27 > 0:00:33# A fine romance, you won't wrestle

0:00:33 > 0:00:37# I've never mussed the crease In your blue serge pants

0:00:37 > 0:00:39# I never have the chance

0:00:39 > 0:00:42# This is a fine romance

0:00:43 > 0:00:49# A fine romance, my good fellow

0:00:49 > 0:00:54# You take romance, I'll take jell-O

0:00:54 > 0:00:58# You're calmer than the seals in the Arctic ocean

0:01:00 > 0:01:04# As least they flap their fins to express emotions

0:01:05 > 0:01:10# A fine romance with no quarrels

0:01:10 > 0:01:16# With no insults and all morals

0:01:16 > 0:01:20# You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France

0:01:20 > 0:01:22# I never get the chance

0:01:22 > 0:01:25# This is a fine romance

0:01:25 > 0:01:32# A fine romance with no kisses

0:01:32 > 0:01:38# A fine romance, my friend, this is

0:01:38 > 0:01:44# True love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has

0:01:44 > 0:01:50# We don't have half the thrills that the march of time has

0:01:50 > 0:01:57# A fine romance with no clinches

0:01:57 > 0:02:03# A fine romance with no pinches

0:02:03 > 0:02:08# You never give the orchids I sent a glance

0:02:08 > 0:02:11# No, you like cactus plants

0:02:11 > 0:02:17# This is a fine romance. #

0:02:25 > 0:02:29# I just got an invitation through the mail

0:02:30 > 0:02:32"Your presence requested this evening

0:02:32 > 0:02:35# It's formal, top hat white tie and tails

0:02:35 > 0:02:39# Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails

0:02:39 > 0:02:42# Because I'm invited to step out this evening

0:02:42 > 0:02:44# In top hat, white tie and tails

0:02:44 > 0:02:48# Oh, I'm puttin' on my top hat

0:02:49 > 0:02:51# Tyin' up my white tie

0:02:51 > 0:02:54# Brushing off my tails

0:02:54 > 0:02:58# I'm dudeing up my shirt front

0:02:58 > 0:03:01# Puttin' in the shirt studs

0:03:01 > 0:03:03# Polishing my nails

0:03:03 > 0:03:05# I'm stepping out, my dear

0:03:05 > 0:03:08# To breathe an atmosphere that simply reeks with class

0:03:10 > 0:03:14# And I trust that you'll excuse my dust when I step on the gas

0:03:16 > 0:03:18# For I'll be there

0:03:18 > 0:03:21# Puttin' down the top hat

0:03:21 > 0:03:23# Mussin' up my white tie

0:03:23 > 0:03:25# Dancin' in my tails. #

0:04:02 > 0:04:04# Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom

0:04:04 > 0:04:07# When the jungle shadows fall

0:04:07 > 0:04:09# Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock

0:04:09 > 0:04:12# As it stands against the wall

0:04:12 > 0:04:16# Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops

0:04:16 > 0:04:18# When the summer shower is through

0:04:18 > 0:04:24# So a voice within me keeps repeating, you, you, you

0:04:24 > 0:04:29# Night and day, you are the one

0:04:30 > 0:04:35# Only you beneath the moon and under the sun

0:04:35 > 0:04:39# Whether near to me or far

0:04:39 > 0:04:44# It's no matter, darling where you are, I think of you

0:04:44 > 0:04:47# Night and day

0:04:47 > 0:04:53# Day and night, why is it so?

0:04:53 > 0:05:00# That this longing for you follows wherever I go

0:05:00 > 0:05:02# In the roaring traffic's boom

0:05:02 > 0:05:06# In the silence of my lonely room

0:05:06 > 0:05:08# I think of you

0:05:08 > 0:05:11# Night and day

0:05:11 > 0:05:14# Night and day

0:05:14 > 0:05:17# Under the hide of me

0:05:17 > 0:05:23# There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me

0:05:23 > 0:05:26# And its torment won't be through

0:05:26 > 0:05:30# Till you let me spend my life making love to you

0:05:30 > 0:05:32# Day and night

0:05:32 > 0:05:34# Night and day

0:08:19 > 0:08:21# Please, teacher, teach me something

0:08:21 > 0:08:24# Nice teacher, teach me something

0:08:24 > 0:08:26# I'm as awkward as a camel

0:08:26 > 0:08:28# That's not the worst

0:08:28 > 0:08:31# My two feet haven't met yet

0:08:31 > 0:08:34# But I'll be teacher's pet yet

0:08:34 > 0:08:38# Cos I'm going to learn to dance or burst

0:08:41 > 0:08:43# Nothing's impossible, I have found

0:08:43 > 0:08:45# When my chin is on the ground

0:08:45 > 0:08:48# I pick myself up, dust myself off

0:08:48 > 0:08:50# Start all over again

0:08:50 > 0:08:53# Don't lose your confidence if you slip

0:08:53 > 0:08:55# Be grateful for a pleasant trip

0:08:55 > 0:08:58# And pick yourself up dust yourself off

0:08:58 > 0:09:00# Start all over again

0:09:00 > 0:09:02# Work like a soul inspired

0:09:02 > 0:09:05# Till the battle of the day is won

0:09:05 > 0:09:07# You may be sick and tired

0:09:07 > 0:09:10# But you'll be a man, my son

0:09:10 > 0:09:12# Will you remember the famous men

0:09:12 > 0:09:14# Who had to fall to rise again

0:09:14 > 0:09:16# So take a deep breath

0:09:17 > 0:09:18# Pick yourself up

0:09:19 > 0:09:21# Dust yourself off

0:09:22 > 0:09:24# Start all over again

0:09:25 > 0:09:29# I'll get some self assurance if your endurance is great

0:09:30 > 0:09:33# I'll learn by easy stages if you're courageous and wait

0:09:34 > 0:09:39# To feel the strength I want to I must hang on to your hand

0:09:39 > 0:09:42# Maybe by the time I'm 50

0:09:42 > 0:09:46# I'll get up and do a nifty. #

0:09:46 > 0:09:50I'll show you again. Now, remember, three steps to the left,

0:09:50 > 0:09:52- three steps to the right. - To the right.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54And turn. One, two, three.

0:10:01 > 0:10:06# Pick yourself up, dust yourself off Start all over again. #

0:10:06 > 0:10:12# Heaven, I'm in heaven

0:10:12 > 0:10:18# And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

0:10:18 > 0:10:24# And I seem to find the happiness I seek

0:10:24 > 0:10:29# When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

0:10:31 > 0:10:33# Heaven

0:10:33 > 0:10:36# I'm in heaven

0:10:36 > 0:10:42# And the cares that hung around me through the week

0:10:42 > 0:10:48# Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

0:10:48 > 0:10:54# When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

0:10:54 > 0:10:57# Oh, I love to climb a mountain

0:10:57 > 0:11:00# And to reach the highest peak

0:11:00 > 0:11:07# But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek

0:11:07 > 0:11:10# Oh, I love to go out fishing

0:11:10 > 0:11:12# In a river or a creek

0:11:12 > 0:11:19# But I don't enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek

0:11:19 > 0:11:22# Dance with me

0:11:22 > 0:11:25# I want my arm about you

0:11:25 > 0:11:28# That charm about you

0:11:28 > 0:11:32# Will carry me through to

0:11:32 > 0:11:36# Heaven, I'm in heaven

0:11:38 > 0:11:44# And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

0:11:44 > 0:11:50# And I seem to find the happiness I seek

0:11:50 > 0:11:55# When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek. #

0:14:55 > 0:14:57# The weather is frightening The thunder and lightening

0:14:57 > 0:15:00# Seem to be having their way

0:15:00 > 0:15:04# But as far as I'm concerned It's a lovely day

0:15:06 > 0:15:09# The turn in the weather Will keep us together

0:15:09 > 0:15:11# So I can honestly say

0:15:11 > 0:15:16# That as far as I'm concerned It's a lovely day

0:15:16 > 0:15:19# And everything's OK

0:15:22 > 0:15:27# Isn't this a lovely day to be caught in the rain?

0:15:30 > 0:15:37# You were going on your way Now you've got to remain

0:15:38 > 0:15:46# Just as you were going Leaving me all at sea

0:15:46 > 0:15:48# The cloud's broke

0:15:48 > 0:15:54# They broke and, oh what a break for me

0:15:54 > 0:15:59# I can see the sun up high Though we're caught in a storm

0:16:02 > 0:16:09# I can see where you and I could be cosy and warm

0:16:09 > 0:16:14# Let the rain pitter patter But it really doesn't matter

0:16:14 > 0:16:18# If the skies are grey

0:16:18 > 0:16:24# Long as I can be with you It's a lovely day. #

0:16:24 > 0:16:28# Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note

0:16:28 > 0:16:31# Though by tomorrow you're gone

0:16:31 > 0:16:35# The song is ended but as the song writer wrote

0:16:35 > 0:16:39# The melody lingers on

0:16:39 > 0:16:41# They may take you from me

0:16:41 > 0:16:45# I'll miss your fond caress

0:16:45 > 0:16:52# But though they take you from me I'll still possess

0:16:52 > 0:16:57# The way you wear your hat

0:16:57 > 0:17:01# The way you sip your tea

0:17:01 > 0:17:06# The memory of all that

0:17:06 > 0:17:10# Oh, no, they can't take that away from me

0:17:10 > 0:17:14# The way your smile just beams

0:17:14 > 0:17:19# The way you sing off key

0:17:19 > 0:17:23# The way you haunt my dreams

0:17:23 > 0:17:29# No, no They can't take that away from me

0:17:29 > 0:17:36# We may never, never meet again On the bumpy road to love

0:17:36 > 0:17:42# But I'll always, always keep a memory of

0:17:42 > 0:17:47# The way you hold your knife

0:17:47 > 0:17:52# The way we danced till three

0:17:52 > 0:17:56# The way you changed my life

0:17:56 > 0:18:00# No, no They can't take that away from me

0:18:00 > 0:18:11# No, they can't take that away from me. #

0:18:19 > 0:18:23# As you listen to the band Don't you get a bubble?

0:18:24 > 0:18:28# As you listen to them play Don't you get a glow?

0:18:29 > 0:18:33# If you step out on the floor You'll forget your trouble

0:18:34 > 0:18:38# If you go into your dance You'll forget your woe

0:18:38 > 0:18:43# So, come, get together

0:18:43 > 0:18:45# Let the dance floor feel your leather

0:19:05 > 0:19:08# Relax, you got yourself tied up in a knot

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Hey, Joe.

0:20:10 > 0:20:11Yeah?

0:20:11 > 0:20:14# It's quarter to three

0:20:14 > 0:20:18# There's no-one in the place except you and me

0:20:20 > 0:20:23# So, set 'em up, Joe

0:20:23 > 0:20:28# I've got a little story you ought to know

0:20:29 > 0:20:36# We're drinking, my friend to the end of a brief episode

0:20:38 > 0:20:41# Make it one for my baby

0:20:41 > 0:20:44# And one more for the road

0:20:47 > 0:20:49# I got the routine

0:20:49 > 0:20:54# So drop another nickel in the machine

0:20:55 > 0:20:58# I'm feelin' so bad

0:20:58 > 0:21:03# I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad

0:21:04 > 0:21:06# Could tell you a lot

0:21:06 > 0:21:12But that's not in a gentleman's code

0:21:12 > 0:21:15# Make it one for my baby

0:21:15 > 0:21:19# And one more for the road

0:21:21 > 0:21:23# You'd never know it

0:21:23 > 0:21:26# But, buddy, I'm a kinda poet

0:21:26 > 0:21:30# And I got a lotta things to say

0:21:30 > 0:21:32# And when I'm gloomy

0:21:32 > 0:21:34# You simply gotta listen to me

0:21:34 > 0:21:38# Until it's talked away. #

0:22:18 > 0:22:24# Some day when I'm awfully low

0:22:24 > 0:22:27# And the world is cold

0:22:27 > 0:22:33# I will feel a glow just thinking of you

0:22:33 > 0:22:38# And the way you look tonight

0:22:40 > 0:22:45# Oh, but you're lovely

0:22:45 > 0:22:48# With your smile so warm

0:22:48 > 0:22:51# And your cheeks so soft

0:22:51 > 0:22:57# There is nothing for me but to love you

0:22:57 > 0:23:02# Just the way you look tonight

0:23:06 > 0:23:11# With each word your tenderness grows

0:23:11 > 0:23:15# Tearing my fear apart

0:23:15 > 0:23:21# And that laugh that wrinkles your nose

0:23:21 > 0:23:26# Touches my foolish heart

0:23:28 > 0:23:33# Lovely, never, never change

0:23:33 > 0:23:36# Keep that breathless charm

0:23:36 > 0:23:43# Won't you please arrange it cos I love you

0:23:43 > 0:23:48# Just the way you look tonight

0:23:52 > 0:24:01# Just the way you look tonight. #

0:24:02 > 0:24:08# There may be trouble ahead

0:24:08 > 0:24:10# But while there's moonlight

0:24:10 > 0:24:16# And music and love and romance

0:24:16 > 0:24:21# Let's face the music and dance

0:24:22 > 0:24:27# Before the fiddlers have fled

0:24:27 > 0:24:32# Before they ask us to pay the bill

0:24:32 > 0:24:39# And while we still have the chance

0:24:39 > 0:24:44# Let's face the music and dance

0:24:44 > 0:24:50# Soon we'll be without the moon

0:24:50 > 0:24:52# Humming a different tune

0:24:52 > 0:24:56# And then

0:24:56 > 0:25:02# There may be teardrops to shed

0:25:02 > 0:25:06# So while there's moonlight and music

0:25:06 > 0:25:10# And love and romance

0:25:10 > 0:25:15# Let's face the music and dance

0:25:15 > 0:25:17# Dance

0:25:17 > 0:25:23# Let's face the music and dance. #

0:28:11 > 0:28:17- # Me too, darling, we'll go places - Lovely, never, never change

0:28:17 > 0:28:21- # Goodbye, quarter - Keep that breathless charm

0:28:21 > 0:28:24- # Goodbye, aces - Won't you please arrange it

0:28:24 > 0:28:27- # Remember how my arms - Cos I love you

0:28:27 > 0:28:29- # Hold you when we dance - Just the way you look

0:28:29 > 0:28:33# But we're not going to dance

0:28:33 > 0:28:40- # This is a fine romance - Tonight. #
