First Steps First

[JULIA]
Pardon my brashness, dear
Seeing you standing here
Dancing’s more customary
For a soirée

Isn’t the band sublime?
And as it happens I’m
Just in the mood to do a
Two-step, do step

Out on the floor with me
I’m new here too, you see
Might you be charmingly coerced?

No need to be so shy
Take reassurance, I
Know how to guide you
Through the worst steps
First steps first

[JULIA, spoken]
I don't remember the bridge

[WAYNE, spoken]
She doesn't remember the bridge
[DONNY]
Why be all alone

[JULIA, spoken]
I’m sorry.

[DONNY, spoken]
No, wait. It’s my fault. The tempo’s all wrong, isn’t it?

[JULIA, spoken]
I don’t know-

[DONNY, spoken]
Yeah, it is. It is. Kick it up, Davy.

[DAVY, spoken]
Oh, thank God.

[DONNY, spoken]
From the bridge. “Why be all alone...” You got it.

[JULIA]
Why be all alone when music calls?

[DONNY, spoken]
Now we're cooking
[JULIA]
I have nothing more or less to prove

[DONNY, spoken]
She's terrific, folks

[JULIA]
But unless we want a party
Full of flowers on the walls

[JULIA & DONNY]
Someone has to make the very first move[JULIA]
Starting is daunting, true
Trusting in something new
Fearful your luck
Will be reversed[DONNY]
Starting
Trusting
Fearful your luck
Will be reversed[JULIA & DONNY]
But, I have a feeling I’d
Steady you if you tried
Soon you’ll be dancing
Through rehearsed steps
First steps first
Bah ba do ‘n
Dah da
First steps first
First steps first
