In me you see a sinner And dancing is my crime It seems a sin I've gotta give in To syncopated time It makes me lose my dignity It makes me lose my poise And some folks call it music But my folks call it noise I like music, old or new But music makes me do The things I never should do I like music, sweet or blue But music makes me do The things I never should do My self-control Was something to brag about Now it's a gag about town The things I do are never forgiven For just when I'm livin' 'em down I hear music, then I'm through For music makes me do The things I never should do I like music old or new But music makes me I like music sweet or blue But music makes me My self-control was something But now it's a gag about town The things I do are never forgiven But just when I'm livin' 'em down I hear music then I'm through For music makes me do The things I never should do
