I had a dream last
night, it was an old time movie
Costumes by Edith Head choreography by Busby Berkeley
Swing was in its golden age
back when swing was all the rage
You and I took center stage
We were painting
the dance floor red
You were Ginger I was Fred
Man, we really knocked them dead
Cuttin’ a rug with you
Sweet gardenias in
your hair
And my (your) bright red boutonnière
We really made quite a pair
Cuttin’ a rug with you
You executed a
triple twirl
And it was a tight one
Like every move that you make girl
It was just the right one
All the people
moved aside
To give us room to swing and glide
It’s like a magic carpet ride
Cuttin’ a rug with you
That band could do
no wrong
They were swinging hot and strong
They even played our favorite song
Cuttin’ a rug with you
You pirouetted on
a dime
We were having a heavenly time
Always do when I dream that I’m
Cuttin’ a rug with you
You are a favorite
dream of mine
Every single night dear
I gotta tell you you look so fine
Even in black and white dear
I can only hope
and pray
Me and you come true some day
But till we do I’ll dream away
Cuttin’ a rug with you
Cuttin’ a rug,
jitter the bug
Cuttin’….cuttin’ a rug with you
