Let's Dance

The Beatles · In The Beginning [1961]

(One, two)

(Oone, two, three, four)



Hey baby won't you take a chance?

Say that you'll let me have this dance



Well let's dance, well let's dance

We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too

Any old dance that you wanna do

But let's dance, well let's dance



Hey baby, yeah, you thrill me so

Hold me tight, don't you let me go



But let's dance, well let's dance

We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too

Any old dance that you wanna do

But let's dance, well let's dance



Ok, wail now..... oh, yeah



Hey, baby, if you're all alone

Maybe you'll let me walk you home



But let's dance, well let's dance

We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too

Any old dance that you wanna do

But let's dance, well let's dance



Hey, baby, things are swingin' right

Yes, i know that this is the night



Well let's dance, well let's dance

We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too

Any old dance that you wanna do

But let's dance, well let's dance



But let's dance

But let's dance

But let's dance

The track exemplifies the group's energetic rock and roll style during their formative years, characterized by driving drum beats and a tight, upbeat arrangement that defined their sound in the early 1960s. While often overshadowed by their later hits, this recording captures the raw vitality and collaborative spirit of the band as they honed their craft before achieving global superstardom. Its inclusion in the catalogue highlights the evolution of their musical identity from simple pop covers to original compositions that would soon redefine the genre.
