My One & Only Highland Filing - Fred Astaire
Though we're called
A people of serious mind
'Tis often we dance 'tis often we sing
And bein' as human as all human-kind
We aren't superior to havin' a fling
I'm taking the fling of a lifetime
The fling of a husband and wife-time
A-when I a-went romancing
I a-gave no thought to any wedding ring
Every bonnie lassie was
My highland fling
A-no chance was I chancing
I' a-m not the man ya dangle on a string
I was canny waitin' for the
Real real thing
A-though I danced each girl
In a twist and a-twirl
Ney one would do
And I went a-my way 'til the fatal day
In the fling I was flung a-with you
Oh
Now my heart is prancin'
A-gay as a lark and happy as a king
The years I'll weather
In the hame on the heather
With my one and only highland fling
When I went a-dancin'
No special lad I was encouragin'
Every lackly laddie was
My highland fling
No glance I was glancin'
Well nothin' really worth a-mentionin'
Hopin' watchin' waitin' for the
Real real thing
Though they spoke me soft
In the moonlit oft'
Ney one would do
'Til it came to pass to this lucky lass
In a fling I was flung with you
Oh
Now my heart is prancin'
Nothin' about ya I'd be alterin'
The years I'll weather
In the hame on the heather
With me one and only highland fling
