Shall We Dance?

"Shall We Dance?" is a song from the 1951 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I. It was performed in the 1956 film version by Marni Nixon, and Yul Brynner. While formally credited for the song, actress Deborah Kerr who played the lead role in the film lip-synced to Nixon's singing.
While it does not appear in the Fallout TV series itself, it was included on the official Amazon Music playlist "Music from Fallout" promoting the series.Music from Fallout (archived)

[ANNA]
We've just been introduced
I do not know you well
But when the music started
Something drew me to your side
So many men and girls
Are in each other's arms
It made me think we might be
Similarly occupied
Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music, shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say "Goodnight" and mean "Goodbye"?
Or perchance
When the last little star has left the sky
Shall we still be together
With are arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding
That this kind of thing can happen
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
[ANNA, spoken]
Mm mm mm
Mm mm mm
[KING, spoken]
Why'd you stop? You dance pretty, go on, go on, go on!
[ANNA, spoken]
Oh Your Majesty I didn't realize, after all I'm not a dancing girl... In England, no woman would dance while a man is looking at her
[KING, spoken]
But you will dance with strange men, holding hands, etc
[ANNA, spoken]
Yes, but not always a stranger. Usually a very good friend
[KING, spoken]
Good, then we will dance together! You show me. Teach, teach, teach!
[ANNA, spoken]
Well, it's quite simple, the polka. You count, one, two, three. And one, two, three and one, two, three
(sung)
Shall we dance?
[KING, sung]
One, two, three and?
[ANNA, sung]
On a bright cloud of music, shall we fly?
[KING]
One, two, three and?
[ANNA]
Shall we dance?
[KING]
One, two, three and?
[ANNA]
Shall we then say "Goodnight" and mean "Goodbye"?
[King:]
One, two, three and?
[ANNA]
Or perchance
When the last little star has left the sky
Shall we still be together
With are arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding
That this kind of thing can happen
[BOTH]
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
[ANNA]
One, two, three and one, two, three and
One, two, three and one, two, three and
[KING, spoken]
One, two, three, one, two, three
One, two... Something wrong!
I know, I know, I forgot "and" next time
I'll remember!
[BOTH, sung]
One, two, three and one, two, three and
One, two, three and one, two, three and
[ANNA, spoken]
Oh that's splendid, your Majesty!
[KING, spoken]
Splendid! Splendid!
[BOTH, sung]
And one, two, three and one, two, three and
One, two, three and
[KING]
That is not right!
[ANNA]
Yes, it is! You're doing beautifully, your Majesty
[KING]
Not the way I see Europeans dance tonight
[ANNA]
Yes, it was! It was just like that!
[KING]
We're not holding two hands, like this
[ANNA]
No. As a matter of fact
[KING]
Or no-o-o-ot like this
[ANNA]
Yes
[KING]
Come!
