For the Leonard Cohen fans - very rare and old song

[The Seeker of Good Songs]

To have heard this song, one has to be not only A Big Leonard Cohen Fan but one of the following:

• A Big Leonard Cohen Fan Who Went To The Right Concerts In The Late ’70s
• A Big Leonard Cohen Fan Who Bought His 45s In Central Europe
• A Big Leonard Cohen Fan Who Stumbled Across A Crappy MP3 Of Do I Have To Dance All Night?

This song has been and continues to be available only as a seven inch single, recorded at a 1976 concert in Holland and pressed in Paris for sale in Central European countries

Lyrics

Do I Have To Dance All Night
I’m Forty-One, the moon is full,
you make love very well.
You touch me like I touch myself,
I like you Mademoiselle.
You’re so fresh and you’re so new,
I do enjoy you, Miss.
There’s nothing I would rather do
than move around just like this
But do I have to dance all night?
But do I have to dance all night?
Ooh tell me, Bird of Paradise,
do I have to dance all night?
You never really have to tell me what
you really think of me - alright.
Let’s say I’m doing fine,
but do I have to dance all night?
Do I have to dance all night? …
I learned this step a while ago.
I had to practice it while everybody slept.
I waited half my life for you, you know,
I didn’t even think that you’d accept.
And here you are before me in the flesh
saying “Yes, yes, yes!”
But do I have to dance all night? …
I learned this step a while ago …
But do I have to dance all night? …

Thank you very much Seeker.

Thanks a lot, Seeker! What a nice surprise to stumble upon a "new" Leonard song.
I quite like it; reminds me a little bit of "Lover Lover Lover".

[Bigmouth]

Danke! Wonderful lyrics.
I really love the old "pre-future" Cohen-era. It's great that some Morrissey-fans have good taste when it comes to other music stiles.

"I learned this step a while ago.
I had to practice it while everybody slept.
I waited half my life for you, you know,
I didn’t even think that you’d accept.
And here you are before me in the flesh
saying 'Yes, yes, yes!'"
