Change Partners by Fred Astaire
Performed by
Fred AstaireAbout
Astaire introduced this song in the 1938 musical Carefree, as a psychiatrist singing this song to a patient (Ginger Rogers) who is indeed dancing with another man (Ralph Bellamy) on the floor of a nightclub. This was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song, but lost to “Thanks for the Memory.”
Change Partners Lyrics
Must you dance every dance
With the same fortunate man?
You have danced with him since the music began
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Must you dance quite so close
With your lips touching his face?
Can't you see I'm longing to be in his place?
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Ask him to sit this one out
And while you're alone
I'll tell the waiter to tell him
He's wanted on the telephone
You've been locked in his arms
Ever since heaven knows when
Oh, won't you change partners, and then...
You may never want to change partners again
