(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)

You can dance every dance with the girl
Who gave you the eye, let her hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the girl
Who liked to treat you right 'neath the pale moon light
But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darlin', save the last dance for me.

Oh, I know that the music's fine like sparkling wine
Go and have your fun
Dance and sing but while we're apart don't give your heart
To anyone
Don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darlin', save the last dance for me.

--- Instrumental ---

You can dance, go and carry on till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If she asks if you're all alone, can she take you home
And must tell her no
And don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darlin', save the last dance for me.

And don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darlin', save the last dance for me...
