Young People
[MARIE, spoken]
Just look at 'em. Don't they look young and healthy dancing all over the place? Seems like it happens around here the same way every spring. They're supposed to be in the barn nailin' th boxes, but I guess you just can't hold them young kids down. 

[TONY, spoken]
That's-a right!

[MARIE, spoken]
Just look at 'em. 

(sung)
Young people gotta dance, dance, dance
Young people kinda naturally want their chance
To get out in the sun and be free

[TONY, spoken]
Ma sure, last-a year the whole crop was-a late ficause I was-a teach 'еm the Charleston. 

[MARIE]
Young peoplе gotta dance, dance, dance
Why should they bother with you and me?

[TONY, spoken]
Because they like us. 

[MARIE, spoken]
You mean they're sorry for old people and people that can't get around. 
[TONY, spoken]
Ma, da Doc was-a told me only three more weeks in the chair. 

[MARIE]
Young people gotta dance, dance, dance
Old people gotta keep in mind

[TONY, spoken]
Old people? Keep in da mind? What, Marie?

[MARIE]
That young people gotta dance, dance, dance
Old people gotta get left behind
