THE HESITATION WALTZ (MALE VERSION) Music and Lyrics by HARRY LEWIS
Across the crowded dance floor Stands a lady with a rose in her hair. Love at first sight, I've wanted all night T’ ask her t’ dance, But I jus’ stand ’n stare!
I promise myself that I'll ask her As soon as the music halts. Too late, another guy Has caught her eye. Now I'm dancing The Hesitation Waltz.
And the music plays on and on and on… It's the kinda tune that coulda been our song. But I'm still standin’ here With this lukewarm beer Watchin’ Mrs. All Right dance with Mr. All Wrong.
As they 1-2-3, 1-2-3 passed me I 1-2-3 count all my faults And they add up to this: He who hesitates will miss. Now I'm dancin’ The Hesitation Waltz.
And they waltz out the door And she’s gone for good. Guess the night's over once an’ for all. No, I won’t get a chance T’ ask her t’ dance, I was too busy stallin’ and holdin’ up this wall.
You can bet the next time I see a lady Who makes my heart do somersaults, Instead of bein’ shy, I'll make ev’ry other guy Dance The Hesitation Waltz.

THE HESITATION WALTZ (FEMALE VERSION) Music and Lyrics by HARRY LEWIS
Across the crowded dance floor stands a cowboy—blue eyes and blond hair. Love at first sight, I’ve wanted all night To ask him to dance, But I just stand and stare.
I promise myself that I’ll ask him As soon as the music halts… Too late, another miss Blew Tex a kiss, Now I’m dancin’ The Hesitation Waltz.
And the music plays on and on and on, It’s the kinda tune that coulda been our song. But I’m still standin’ here With this lukewarm beer Watchin’ Mr. All Right dance with Mrs. All Wrong.
As they one-two-three, one-two-three passed me I one, two, three count all my faults. And the total I get Comes to one word: Regret. Now I’m dancin’ The Hesitation Waltz!
And they waltz out the door and he’s gone for good, Guess the night’s over, no second chance. I’ll go home to bed And read my cat Fred A chapter ‘r two from a dimestore romance.
You can bet the next time I see a cowboy Who makes my heart do somersaults, I’ll smile and play the game And make ev’ry other dame Dance The Hesitation Waltz!
