No. 15 - Quartet - "Dancing Mad."
Carraway: | Nowadays we're told Not to be so lazy, Doctors all advise Lots of exercise! |
Dudley: | Young as well as old All go simply crazy, Hop and skip and jump, Else they get too plump. |
Henry: | Some go in for dumb-bells, Others punch the ball, But I believe in dancing — |
Pedro: | Dancing! |
Dudley: | Dancing! |
Henry: | That's the finest exercise of all! |
All: | One and two and three and four and five, That's the way to keep yourself alive! Never mind If you are slim or portly, You will find A great improvement shortly! Five and six and seven, eight and nine, In a week you're feeling simply fine! All the day you never ought to stop, But dance away till you drop! |
Carraway: | When you're in your bath Tread the light fandango; Polka more or less All the time you dress, |
Dudley: | Down the garden path Gaily try the tango, Dance the hornpipe thus In the omnibus. |
Henry: | When it comes to lunch time Waltz into the house — Oh! always keep on dancing — |
Pedro: | Dancing! |
Dudley: | Dancing! |
Henry: | When you're in the Highlands shooting grouse! |
All: | One and two and three and four and five, That's the way to keep yourself alive! Never mind If you are slim or portly, You will find A great improvement shortly! Five and six and seven, eight and nine, In a week you're feeling simply fine! All the day you never ought to stop, But dance away till you drop! |
