Girls
it's almost too good to be true.
Girls
for years I've been looking for you.
I've been longing for you
hoping I would get a chance here
just to teach a lot of little girlies
how to dance, dear.
Shall I show you a step or two
Say the word
it's up to you.
Watch me,
you'll see perfect dancers you will be.

Come on little girls,
take a chance,
here's a dance you really ought to do
and we'll put you hep to a step
full of pep and very easy too.
Here is a peach we can teach
in a minute,
there is nothing to it
you can learn to do it
get this it is a pretty thing,
if you want something cute,
here's a beaut
it's as nutty as the Ballet Russe.
And this little twist, I insist,
makes Nijinsky look a crippled goose.
Leave it to me
I will soon have you educated
leave it to me
and your brain will be syncopated
come take a chance little girls
and learn how to dance.

Come on little girls,
take a chance,
here's a dance you really ought to do
and we'll put you hep to a step
full of pep and very easy too.
Here is a peach we can teach

get this it is a pretty thing,
if you want something cute,
here's a beaut
it's as nutty as the Ballet Russe.
And this little twist, I insist,
makes Nijinsky look a crippled goose.
Leave it to me
I will soon have you educated
leave it to me
and your brain will be syncopated
come take a chance little girls
and learn how to dance.
