Poetry In Motion

(Paul Kaufman and Mike Anthony)

When I see my ba-a-by,
7 7 7 -8 8 -8 7
What do I see,
-8 -8 8 -8
Po-et-ry,
8 9 8
Po-et-ry in mo-tion.
-6 -6 -7 7 8 -8

Po-et-ry in mo-tion
8 -8 7 -7 -6 5
Walk-in’ by my side
-9 8 -8 7 8 -8
Her love-ly lo-co-mo-tion
6 8 -8 7 -7 -6 5
Keeps my eyes o-pen wide
-9 8 -8 -10 9 9

Po-et-ry in mo-tion
8 -8 7 -7 -6 5
See her gen-tle sway
-9 8 -8 7 8 -8
A wave out on the o-cean
6 8 -8 7 -7 -6 5
Could nev-er move that way
-6 -6 -6 -7 -8 7

I love ev-‘ry move-ment
7 -7 8 -7 -8 7
There’s noth-ing I would change
7 -7 -7 8 -8 7
She does-n’t need im-prove-ment
7 -7 -7 8 -7 -8 7
She’s much too nice to re-ar-range
7 -8 -8 -8 -8 -10 9 9

Po-et-ry in mo-tion
8 -8 7 -7 -6 5
Danc-ing close to me
-9 8 -8 7 8 -8
A flow-er of de-vo-tion
6 8 -8 7 -7 -6 5
A sway-ing grace-ful-ly
-6 -6 7 -7 -8 7

Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whooooooooa

Po-et-ry in mo-tion
8 -8 7 -7 -6 5
See her gen-tle sway
-9 8 -8 7 8 -8
A wave out on the o-cean
6 8 -8 7 -7 -6 5
Could nev-er move that way
-6 -6 -6 -7 -8 7

I love ev-‘ry move-ment
7 -7 8 -7 -8 7
There’s noth-ing I would change
7 -7 -7 8 -8 7
She does-n’t need im-prove-ment
7 -7 -7 8 -7 -8 7
She’s much too nice to re-ar-range
7 -8 -8 -8 -8 -10 9 9

Po-et-ry in mo-tion
8 -8 7 -7 -6 5

All that I a-dore
-9 8 -8 7 8 -8
No num-ber-nine love po-tion
6 8 -8 7 -7 -6 5
Could make me love her more
-6 -6 7 -7 -8 7
