Slipping a bit further back in time - is this a foxtrot or a Charlestone? Time for a ukulele solo....

Story behind the song
Is this the Bonzo's influence or just too much time spent listening to my granny's gramophone as a kid? Time to get the ukulele out!
Lyrics
No place I’d rather be
E6B+2E6F#7B9C9A A#B B7
E6B+2E6F#7B9C9C#7 B+E
It’s so appealing what I’m feeling running around in my brain
Don’t know why but I’m flying high and I’m scared I’ll never come down again
My cheeks start burning every time you’re turning your face to look at me
I can’t say why I feel this way but there’s no place I’d rather be
Down or up your loving cup is sweeping all doubts away
Stand or fall there’s just no call it’s your love will win the day
You’re such a sweetie that to your entreaties I’m so vulnerable you can see
What a dope without a hope but there’s no place I’d rather be
G#m AB/D# A/C# E G#m A BB+7
What a thrill are you for real I’m set to overload
I mustn’t drool gotta keep my cool before my head explodes
Instrumental verse plus different break
AGEE7AGBBEG#B B7
You don’t want to put me down I know it’s not your style
We could be the talk of the town if you just stay and don’t run a mile
I get ecstatic from all your magic my overdrive’s engaged
You’re delectable if just too respectable time to break out of your cage
If I seem hazy, you’re the daisy turn your face to my sun
Stick with me and you’ll agreesomething spectacular has begun
Repeat first chorus
I know your frightened but just get enlightened and everything’ll turn out fine
Stop pretending this ain’t the ending just the start of our storyline
There’s no controlling all the things I’m extolling are rolling exponentially
Up in flames and you’re to blame but there’s no place I’d rather be
