Dancing teacher, give us a chance
we came here to learn how to dance.
That brand new dance
they call the FoxTrot,
the lovin' FoxTrot.
If you'll kindly show us the way
any price we're willing to pay
take us each in turn
we're all ready to learn.

Dancing teacher show us how
to do the FoxTrot
You'll have to watch your step,
won't you come and show us how
to do the FoxTrot
you'll have to watch your step,
tell us what to do!
Can we do it too?
Kindly show us, watch me, watch me,
That dance is simply great,
and it's so uptodate
it beats the Tango, OneStep
and the others we know so
Dancing teacher once again
show us how it's done and then
we'll do the FoxTrot
the whole night long.

Dancing teacher, do it some more
glide as gently over the floor,
until we learn the dance the FoxTrot,

Really it's a barrel of fun
though it's not so easily done
if you'll see us through
we'll be doing it too.
