Original lyrics
ENIn 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
