Finale Hoppers 1922

I've been all around this earth
in ev'ry foreign land,
I've seen all those wobbly zuzus
down in zuzuland,
But there's a tribe right here
the queerest of the queer
I'll tell you all about them
so kindly lend us your ear.

When those finale hoppers
start hopping around
you'd think that Barnum's circus
just blew into town,
with their shoe string ties
and dented hats
some wear socks and others spats,
each dapper
with his flapper
bobbing up and down
like acrobats,
All those finale hoppers
made dancing an art,
Their style of Camel walking
breaks many a heart,
when they get hungry
they partake
of their two course dinner
of coffee and cake,
When those finale hoppers
start hoppin' around.

bobbing up and down
like acrobats,
All those finale hoppers
made dancing an art,
Their style of Camel walking
breaks many a heart,
when they get hungry
they partake
of their two course dinner
of coffee and cake,
When those finale hoppers
start hoppin' around.

At a party or a dance
they always congregate,
Important bus'ness is the reason
they are always late,
They're sure to have a friend,
who will always gladly lend,
They take while he keeps putting
their time is all they spend.
