Frank Sinatra version in Ab - capo 1 to play along:
I've included the chords for an intro though I've not found it recorded by anyone yet - but
if you follow this link you get an interactive sheet music page which will play it for you:
Turns out that the intro chords are quite a bit harder than the rest.
Come back to them when you find the tune.

[Intro]
Bb Bbaug
There are three new movies op'ning tonight,
Bb6 Bb7
A baseball game, a championship fight,
Eb6 Ab7
A big band concert under the stars,
Bb Ab7 Bb
And a rodeo, Midget racing cars,
D Bm Gmaj7
Gmmaj7
For some gals and gents the above events
F#m Eb9 D
hold their own vicarious charms,
D6 Cdim
But I'd rather go to a place I know,
Em7 A7 Am7 D7
Where I can hold you in my arms!
[Verse 1]
G Gdim D7 Gdim G
Hey there cutes, put on your dancin' boots and come dance with me,
A9 Am7 D7 G Gdim Am7 D7
Come dance with me, what an evening for some terpsichore.
G Gdim D7 Gdim G Em Fdim
Pretty face, I know a swingin' place, so come on dance with me,
D Bm7 Em7 A7 Am7 D7
Romance with me on a crowded floor.
[Chorus]
G7 Dm7 Bbm6 G7 C
And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I'll be sayin',
Cm
Cmmaj7 Cm7 F7 Bb Am7 D7
For what is dancing but making love set to music, play - ing.
[Verse 2]
G Gdim D7 Gdim G A9
When the band begins to leave the stand and folks start to roam,
Am7 D7 B7 E7
As we walk home, cheek to cheek we'll be,
Am7 D9 G
Come on, come on, come on, come on and and dance with me
