Where Did You Learn to Dance? Lyrics by Debbie Reynolds, Donald O’Connor

I Love Melvin (Original Film Soundtrack)

1953

[Donald O'Connor]
You give me a glow, you give me a lift
Oh, where did you go, to get such a gift?
Oh, where did you learn to dance?
Oh, what grace! What technique!
[Debbie Reynolds]
I went to my ballet class
Four or five times a week
[Donald O'Connor]
Miss LeRoy, your movements have me
So completely floored (Call me Judy)
Judy, you deserve
An anatomy award! (Huh?)
Where did you learn to twirl
So superlatively?
You're getting me all agog
With your choreography!
When you tap so, I am absolutely in a trance
Say, you could bе a big star if you had the chance!
Little lady, whеre, oh where, oh where
Did you learn to dance?
How did you get your shoes
So enthusiastic?
I seem to flip when you trip
The light fantastic!
[Debbie Reynolds]
Would you state, that you’re an ardent
Patron of ballet?
[Donald O'Connor]
Quite so! And might I say, that I
Dig your tour jeté (Crazy man!)
Where did you get that
Quake and quiver?
[Debbie Reynolds]
It was way down upon the
Swanee River!
[Donald O'Connor]
I like your poise- that is, I mean
I'm keen about your stance
Say, you could be the epitome of romance!
What am I saying?
Where, oh where, oh where
Did you learn to dance?
Where, oh where, oh where, did you learn to-
How you do twist, how you do turn
You better take care or the carpet'll burn
Where, oh where, oh where
Did you learn to dance?
