I've included the chords for an intro though I've not found it recorded by anyone yet - but

Turns out that the intro chords are quite a bit harder than the rest.
Come back to them when you find the tune.

Intro
[Bb] [Bbaug]
There are three new movies op'ning tonight,
[Bb6] [Bb7]
A baseball game, a championship fight,
[Eb6] [Ab7]
A big band concert under the stars,
[Bb] [Ab7] [Bb]
And a rodeo, Midget racing cars,
[D] [Bm] [Gmaj7] [Gmmaj7]
For some gals and gents the above events
[F#m] [Eb9] [D]
hold their own vicarious charms,
[D6] [Cdim]
But I'd rather go to a place I know,
[Em7] [A7] [Am7] [D7]
Where I can hold you in my arms!
Verse 1
[G] [Gdim] [D7] [Gdim] [G]
Hey there cutes, put on your dancin' boots and come dance with me,
[A9] [Am7] [D7] [G] [Gdim] [Am7] [D7]
Come dance with me, what an evening for some terpsichore.
[G] [Gdim] [D7] [Gdim] [G] [Em] [Fdim]
Pretty face, I know a swingin' place, so come on dance with me,
[D] [Bm7] [Em7] [A7] [Am7] [D7]
Romance with me on a crowded floor.
Chorus
[G7] [Dm7] [Bbm6] [G7] [C]
And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I'll be sayin',
[Cm] [Cmmaj7] [Cm7] [F7] [Bb] [Am7] [D7]
For what is dancing but making love set to music, play - ing.
Verse 2
[G] [Gdim] [D7] [Gdim] [G] [A9]
When the band begins to leave the stand and folks start to roam,
[Am7] [D7] [B7] [E7]
As we walk home, cheek to cheek we'll be,
[Am7] [D9] [G]
Come on, come on, come on, come on and and dance with me
