by Jerome Kern, Take a Step with Me (1906)
“ A certain married dame, I will not give her name, Is younger than her husband is, Her tastes are livelier than his. As dancing makes her figure trim, She dances not with him! One night she felt quite gay, Took in a cabaret, She found the dancing such good fun, That as the clock was striking one, In wine her sorrows she had drowned, She still was whirling round! ”
