• Honey Hale : [singing]  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...
