Song lyrics to I Can’t Dance (I Got Ants in My Pants) (1934) music by Clarence Williams, lyrics by Charles Gaines, performed in Meet the People
Now, let’s go walking,
Let’s go walking,
Out the park,
Out the park,
I’m not responsible
I’m not responsible
What I do after a dark!
What I do after a dark!
At its’ heart, Meet the People is a musical romantic comedy, where shipyard worker William ‘Swanee’ Swanson (played by Dick Powell) has written a patriotic play about the American worker during World War II. Actress Julie Hampton (played by Lucille Ball) is hired to act in the play, but when Swanson has “creative differences” with the producer, he wants the actual shipyard workers to star in the play.
