[00:00.00]Gershwin: I'd Rather Charleston - Adele Astaire/Fred Astaire
[00:10.78]I've seen for days that you've got
[00:12.33]The ways that must be checked
[00:15.15]In you I never can detect
[00:18.03]The slightest signs of intellect
[00:21.80]Your mad on dances
[00:23.00]Think of the chances you neglect
[00:26.11]You never seem inclined to use your mind
[00:29.87]And it's quite plain to see
[00:32.65]That I'm the brains of the family
[00:38.61]Take a lesson from me
[00:40.52]I'd rather Charleston Charleston
[00:44.08]Think of what you might be
[00:45.86]I'd rather Charleston Charleston
[00:49.07]I'm disappointed in you and your ways
[00:54.84]I'm double jointed
[00:56.79]If There's no sensation like syncopation
[01:00.30]Will you let me know why
[01:02.17]I'd rather Charleston Charleston
[01:05.01]That's the sort of thing I would never do
[01:09.37]So leave it behind
[01:11.69]And give your mind to something new
[01:14.88]I'd rather Charleston Charleston
[01:18.49]Charleston with you
[01:21.23]Your way of living soon
[01:23.10]Will be giving me a pain
[01:25.17]You just repeat that same refrain
[01:28.05]You use your feet and not your brain
[01:32.04]Something has got you
[01:33.45]I don't know what you hope to gain
[01:36.19]And after all I've done
[01:38.68]It's not much fun to have a Sister who's
[01:43.30]Got her brain in her dancing shoes
[01:48.69]So take a lesson from me
[01:50.91]I'd rather Charleston
[01:52.86]Charleston When you're older you'll see
[01:56.71]I'd rather Charleston Charleston
[01:59.96]The great improvements I looked for in you
[02:05.39]I like improvements
[02:07.41]If you make new plastic just like elastic
[02:10.47]Say don't you ever keep cool
[02:12.73]I'd rather Charleston
[02:14.51]Oh no that's the sort of thing silly people do
[02:20.14]Hey haven't you read
[02:22.29]What Lincoln said in sixty-two
[02:24.37]Yeh what'd he say
[02:26.22]I'd rather Charleston Charleston
[02:29.21]Charleston with you
[02:31.45]Not me
