How Can You Face Me? - Fats Waller, Billy Taylor

Hoist your anchor, pull in the plank, hands on deck

Strap your life belt, ready Captain, check, double check

I want some seafood, baby

I want some seafood, baby

There’s magic in a slow soothing ripple

That makes you dance even though your’e a cripple

You can’t resist, get aboard that yacht club swing

If skies are grey, never mind stormy weather

You’re gonna fell just as light as a feather

Look what you’ve missed, let them play that yacht club swing

Don’t go starboard, keep on moving round' the raft

Don’t go port side, keep on grooving fore and aft

Love is the thing but swing is in power

Go get your partner, don’t mind the hour

You can’t resist when you board the yacht club swing
