Ray Noble and His Orchestra
Roll up the carpet, push back the chairs
Get some music on the radio
Don't mind the neighbours who live downstairs
They went out to see a show
Roll up the carpet, push back the chairs
Then be sure that all the lights are low
Dance with a girlfriend, the one who cares
Tell her that you love her so
When you're feeling tired of dancing
Try and find a place to park
Go to any cosy corner
Take advantage of the dark
Roll up your troubles, fold up your cares
Just forget you haven't got a dime
Roll up the carpet and push back the chairs
You're bound to have a wonderful time
Roll up your troubles, fold up your cares
Just forget you haven't got a dime
Roll up the carpet and push back the chairs
You're bound to have a wonderful time
You're bound to have a wonderful time
