It's time now for the music
of Irving Berlin,
and we listen to his newest smash,
bringing us once more the
voice of Thelma Carpenter
in Back to Back.
Dancing back to back,
takes you off that beat
in' track.
You don't look at your partner at all
when you dance back to back.
That new attack
that the other dancer s lack,
you can see what goes on in the hall
when you dance back to back.
Your partner won't see you,
make eyes at who dances by.
Your partner won't see you,
she's doing the same,
that's why you must
dance back to back.
Let me place you in the pack
Cut the cards and I'll deal you
a queen and a jack
Back to back
Dancin' back to back
Takes you off that beatin' track
You don't look at your part
ner at all
when you dance
Back to back
That's that new at tack
that the other dances lack
You can see what goes on
in the hall
when you dance back to back
Your partner won't see you
make eyes at who dances by
Your partner won't see you,
she's doing the same
That's why you must dance
back to back
Let me place you in the pack
Cut the cards and I'll deal you
a queen and a jack
Back to back
I'm dealing jack
Back to back
