Ta på dig dansskorna [English translation]

Ladies and gentlemen

I'd never experienced love

The way you described it

Running around with signs, but no one sees you

Where's the sunshine?

Searching everywhere with a lantern, trying to succeed

Please call me if you find it

I'm writing letters but I never get a reply

Is it the wrong address or is it just me

who doesn't want to accept the words you said

I guess I hoped they were aimed at someone else

But, they say that life is

what you make it so I buy new envelopes

Miss Smith, I hope I'm not troubling you?

Please excuse me, but these flowers are for your daughter

Does it have to be this way?

And why are you standing up there on the balcony if you like me

Maybe I'm not the most beautiful of men

but maybe you're not even into guys, tell me

Maybe you're not even into guys, tell me

Maybe you're not into guys, tell me

Maybe you're not into guys, tell me

...or maybe you're just not into me

Ladies and gentlemen

Put on your dancin' shoes

Put on your dancin' shoes

Put on your dancin' shoes

Please, miss

Come one down and give me a chance

In my two-room apartment there's always room for you

I know your old man has spoken ill of me

That I'm someone who gets you pregnant and then leaves you

No, I'll get you a doctor that can look after you

A lawyer and a banker that'll always follow you

I'll make you rich with love, for starters

Then we'll see if the landlord will think it's enough

But few other see what I see

I hope that

I'll get a reply to one of my letters

But no

I've been writing so much that my wrist is bruised

But somewhere I just know I'm making you smile

So give me a chance, please

To climb up onto your balcony, it's raining now

Your parents aren't even at home now

And who knows what happens next,

That's up to you

That's up to you

That's up to you

Yeah, that's up to you

But please, can you decide as soon as possible?

Ladies and gentlemen

Put on your dancin' shoes

I gave you roses and letters

Everything you wanted

to make you happy

Can't I get a reply

Just a single line

I wont demand more than an honest answer

If you want to, I'll stop

But not a reply that has been dictated by your father

because the letter you wrote yourself never got posted in town

As your mother said

Don't make the same mistake if you ever plan on having a kid

So, taxi driver, can you take me there?

Mister conductor, here's the ticket, please tell me how long?

Hurry up, my life is on the line

Mon chéri

Waiting on the balcony and we

At least me can not stand here and wait any longer

I brought a rope

in case you'd fall for the letter I just wrote

I'm holding your hand and I quote:

Without you I can't go on living

Go on living

Can't go on living

P.S. Luckily that wasn't the way it turned out

Put on your dancin' shoes

Put on your dancin' shoes

Put on your dancin' shoes
