It Takes Two To Tango

Louis Armstrong


You can haunt any house by yourself
Be a man or a mouse by yourself
You can act like a king on a throne

There are lots of things that you can do alone
But it takes
Two to tango, two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Two to tango, two to tango
Do the dance of love
You can sail on a ship by yourself
Take a nap or a nip by yourself
You can get into bed on your own

There are lots of things that you can do alone
But it takes
Two to tango, two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Two to tango, two to tango
Do the dance of love
You can get buried all by yourself
Catch a fish or a cold by yourself
Dig a ditch, strike it rich all by yourself

There are lots of things that you can do alone
But it takes
Two to tango, two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Two to tango, two to tango
Do the dance of love
You can fight like a champ by yourself
You can lick any stamp by yourself
You can be very brave on the phone

There are lots of things that you can do alone
But it takes
Two to tango, two to tango
Two to really get the feeling of romance
Two to tango, two to tango
Do the dance of love
It takes two, I said two
Darling it always takes two,
I'm with you!
