Everybody Step 1921 "The Music Box Revue of 1921"

Soon you'll hear a tune
that's gonna lift you out of your seat.
It could be sweeter
but then the meter
was written especially for your feet.
Fly away up high
upon a syncopated balloon,
A little ginger
will never injure
hear them tuning up
they'll be playing soon.

Everybody step to the syncopated rhythm
let's be goin' with 'em when they begin;
You'll be sayin' "Yes Sir"
the band is grand,
he's the best professor in all the land.
Listen to the pep
that emerges from the middle
of the jazzy fiddle under his chin.
Oh, what music
The clarineter; could not be better;
hear that strain,
I don't know just what it is but it's great;
They simply ruin it,
look at 'em doin' it,
come, come, don't hesitate,
everybody step
if you want to see a glutton
when it comes struttin' over the ground,
wait'll you see my little sweetie and me
step, step, steppin' around.
