A little girl named Betty Lee,
who came to town from Tennessee,
She knew the two step
and ev'ry new step
was the same as "A" "B" "C"
a lot of dancing beaus she had
but she just craved her Daddy, Dad,
when the music played Oh!
Betty made for her Daddy,
Daddy, Daddy and cried:

Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
Come do the Foxtrot
Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
I tell you what
I love the Fox trot,
ev'rybody wants to do that funny step
ev'rybody's full of "pep"
You've got to run, run, run, run,
Right thru' it
to do it,
Oh! That slip'pry slide
just put your hands
right on your side,
Now cover ground
just like a hound
was running 'round you
get a wiggle on you,
Pop! Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
Do the funny Fox Trot

Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
Come do the Foxtrot
Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
I tell you what
I love the Fox trot,
ev'rybody wants to do that funny step
ev'rybody's full of "pep"
You've got to run, run, run, run,
Right thru' it
to do it,
Oh! That slip'pry slide
just put your hands
right on your side,
Now cover ground
just like a hound
was running 'round you
get a wiggle on you,
Pop! Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
Do the funny Fox Trot

Oh! Betty danced in ev'ry way
she even danced in jail one day,
They did the lockstep
but now the Fox step
is the prison's cabaret,
She was her Daddy's only child
and then her Daddy only smiled
when he heard that glide
and Betty cried for her Daddy,
Daddy, Daddy and cried:

Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
Come do the Foxtrot
Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
I tell you what
I love the Fox trot,
ev'rybody wants to do that funny step
ev'rybody's full of "pep"
You've got to run, run, run, run,
Right thru' it
to do it,
Oh! That slip'pry slide
just put your hands
right on your side,
Now cover ground
just like a hound
was running 'round you
get a wiggle on you,
Pop! Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
Do the funny Fox Trot

Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
Come do the Foxtrot
Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
I tell you what
I love the Fox trot,

ev'rybody's full of "pep"
You've got to run, run, run, run,
Right thru' it

Now cover ground

Pop! Oh! Pop! Oh! Pop!
