Music Makes Me - Fred Astaire, Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Fred Astaire

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
