Children's SOS Song to Shirley MacLaine
The story so far: The children are
disenchanted with the lack of realism in stories about Romance.
They want the facts and want to hear what the other side of
Romance is like. They are looking for someone to express
it in song and dance and show them how interpret "Dance
Away Romance". Could that person be Irma La Douce ?

HOW TO DANCE, SHIRLEY MACLAINE ©
    
Many of us looked for hope,
And felt surely there was none,
Until we heard God's message,
Now we stand together as one.
Well our time has come at last,
We've been given our big chance,
We're calling you, dear lady,
To show us how to dance.
* * *
We've listened to you well, you know,
We won't fall off the mountain.
But now with bills to pay,
We'd like to do some money countin'.
We're ready to earn our pay today
With wages paid on parity,
You know there is no sweeter sound,
Than to say "Goodbye, sweet charity".
* * *
Show us how to dance, Shirley MacLaine,
Show us how to dance to world acclaim.
I'll treat triumph and disaster just the same,
If you show us how to dance your dancing game.
Show us how to dance, Shirley MacLaine,
(Repeat)
* * *
Tell us of the truths of life,
Not of all the honey and roses,
Tell us truths about romance,
And what it sometimes poses.
Shrug off inhibition,
Set sophistication loose,
We know this is a special job,
Just for Irma La Douce.
* * *
Show us how to dance, Shirley MacLaine,
Show us how to dance to world acclaim.
I'll treat triumph and disaster just the same,
If you show us how to dance your dancing game.
Show us how to dance, Shirley MacLaine,
(Repeat)
* * *
We'll be always grateful to you,
Now we stand on our own two feet.
But it really would help a lot,
If you could set us to the beat.
Fill us with your charm and grace,
That'll keep you always near.
Your dancing points us to success,
Then we can get there from here.
* * *
Show us how to dance, Shirley MacLaine,
Show us how to dance to world acclaim.
I'll treat triumph and disaster just the same,
If you show us how to dance your dancing game.
Show us how to dance, Shirley MacLaine.
(Repeat Twice ... Fade)
