I’d Rather Charleston - George Gershwin

Lady, Be Good! - I'd Rather Charleston (女士，乖点！ - 我宁愿去跳查尔斯顿舞) - George Gershwin/Eric Stern
I've seen for days that you've got
The ways that must be checked
In you I never can detect
The slightest signs of intellect
You're mad on dances think
Of the chances you neglect
You never seem inclined to use your mind
And it's quite plain to see
That I'm the brains of the family
Take a lesson from me
I'd rather Charleston
Charleston
Think of what you might be
I'd rather Charleston
Charleston
I'm disappointed in you and your ways
I'm double-jointed
There's no sensation like syncopation
Will you let me know why
I'd rather Charleston
Charleston
That's the sort of thing
I would never do
So just leave it behind and
Give your mind to something new
I'd rather Charleston
Oh no
Charleston Charleston with you
Your way of living soon
Will be giving me a pain
You just repeat one refrain
You use your feet and not your brain
Something has got you
I don't know what you hope to gain
And after all I've done
It's not much fun to have to have a sister who's
Got her brain in her dancing shoes
So take a lesson from me
I'd rather Charleston
Charleston
When you're older you'll see
I'd rather Charleston
Charleston
The great improvements I looked for in you
I like improvements
It makes you plastic just like elastic
Say don't you ever keep cool
I'd rather Charleston Charleston
Oh no that's the sort of thing fullish people do
Say haven't you read what Lincoln said in sixty-two
Yeah
Well what'd he say
I'd rather Charleston
Oh no
Charleston Charleston with you
Not dance
I'd rather Charleston
Charleston
Charleston with you
