Intro

Riff

Margarida has a strange appeal

  Sways between suitors on a broken heel

  Of course her desires they always mistook

  She'd rather've been scarred than be scarred with loathe

Riff

In conversation she often contends

  Costumes build customs that involve dead ends

She found her courage in a change of scene

 This Sunday's social would be short its queen

All her best years spent distracted

By these tired reenactments

With the right step she'll try her chances

Somewhere else

There he is a step outside her view

  Reciting the words he hoped she might pursue

Night upon night a faithful light at shore

If he'd only convince his legs across the floor

Please, don't watch me dancing

Oh no, don't watch me dancing

Something changes when she glances

Enough to teach you what romance is

With the right step they try their chances

Somewhere else

Please, don't watch me dancing

Don't watch me dancing
