Put me on solid ground and I'll start tapping! At my age they say to keep moving.

Point a light at me, and I'll start tap dancing.

I would love to be able to tap dance.

I can tap dance a little bit.

You reach a certain age, and you realize, 'Wow: there are younger people doing this better than I can, and don't leave me out - I don't want to be left behind. I want to do it, too. Where are you going? I want to be part of it.'

I'll keep going until I get to the point where I can't get out on stage.

I don't want to be on stage when I'm 57, talking about... 'Let's Get It Started.'

I'm a tap dancer. Once you're a tap dancer, you're always a tap dancer. In 'After Midnight,' I get to dance, but I don't do a full tap number.

I mean, if you asked me what I'm going to be doing when I'm 85, I'd make a quick picture in my mind and, well, I'll be singing.
