PRETTY MUSIC<br>

A political tea dance at the Governor's mansion.<br>

GOVERNOR JOHN SLATON<br>

(dancing with his wife)<br>

Don't ya think that's pretty music?<br>

Those fellas sure can play.<br>

This beat was really made for dancin'.<br>

Yes, ma'am, that's pretty music.<br>

I could dance the night away.<br>

You can hear that song's so sweet and true,<br>

But truth to tell, not half as sweet as you.<br>

(changes partners, dances with a contributor's wife, who is nervous and a little stiff)<br>

Don't you think that's pretty music?<br>

This song sure makes you smile.<br>

Shame you don't visit here more often.<br>

Yes, ma'am that's pretty music -<br>

Just listen for a while -<br>

If your feet don't follow your commands,<br>

Just put yourself in ol' Jack Slaton's hands.<br>

(His next partner is quite a dancer)<br>

That's it! That's right!<br>

I found myself a partner who knows my style!<br>

That's it! That's right!<br>

A beautiful lady to dance awhile!<br>

Seems you know what I need,<br>

I'll even take your lead -<br>

We're dancin', yes indeed!<br>

We're so light on our feet, we could dance for miles!<br>

So don'tcha stop that pretty music!<br>

Sure makes me feel alive!<br>

If I can dance with your today,<br>

Who cares what all those folks will say?<br>

Your husband's fine, it's true,<br>

But I'm the lucky guy who gets to dance with you,<br>

So turn an ankle and let the music play!<br>

(His next partner is Lucille)<br>

<br>
