I’d Rather Charleston Lyrics by Alessandro Nivola

Love’s Labour’s Lost (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

2000

[KING]
I've seen for days that
You've got some ways that
Must be checked
In you I never can detect
The slightest sign of intellect
You're mad on dances
Think of the chances
You neglect
You never seem inclined
To use your mind
You're just a fella who
Has got his brains in his dancing shoes
Take a lesson from me
[BEROWNE]
I'd rather Charleston
[LONGUEVILLE AND DUMAINE]
Doo doo, doo doo!
[KING]
Think of what you might be
[BEROWNE]
I'd rather Charleston
[LONGUEVILLE AND DUMAINE]
Doo doo, doo doo!
[KING]
I'm disappointed
In you and your ways
[BEROWNE]
I'm double-jointed
There's no sensation
Like syncopation
[KING]
Will you let me know why?
[BEROWNE]
I'd rather Charleston
[KING]
Charleston?
That's the sort of thing I would never do
So leave it behind
And give your mind
To something new
[BEROWNE]
I'd rather Charleston
Charleston
Charleston
Charleston with you
