[Verse 1]
Here in this world of misinformation
I've found a word of truth
Hey, all you intellectual giants
Here is a piece of pure social science
Here is a sweet irrelevant phrase
To swallow with your vermouth
No one willingly ever halts
A waltz for Ruth
[Piano Solo]
[Tenor Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
Dancing a dance of such variations
Pleases your sweetest tooth
Glide through the room with reckless abandon
What if you fall? She's there for the landin'
[Verse 2]
Why do you think the fame of it spread
From Davenport to Duluth?
No one willingly ever halts
They may need stеroids or smelling salts
But no one willingly evеr halts
A waltz for Ruth
A waltz for Ruth
A waltz for Ruth
