That Broadway Glide 1912

Have you ever noticed
when you're on Broadway,
how the people passing you
will swing and sway,
The man he swings a cane,
the girlie swings a bag,
ev'rybody looks as if
they're doing a rag.
And the reason for it is
the atmosphere,
ev'rywhere they go
a diff'rent rag they hear,
they declare it's a bear.
You can hear it ev'rywhere,
and when you see how it's affecting them
you cannot help but stare.

Just watch them do that Broadway glide,
all kinds of people side by side,
Just see how easy they're taking it,
Look ev'rybody is shaking it,
After you once get the trick of it,
Gee! It's a bore,
it's a bore,
you get sick of it.
And once you've seen the Broadway Glide,
you won't be happy till you've tried,
you will want to take it up,
take it up,
take it up,
and you'll want to shake it up,
shake it up, shake it up,
for ev'rybody does that Broadway Glide.

Just watch them do that Broadway glide,
all kinds of people side by side,
Just see how easy they're taking it,
Look ev'rybody is shaking it,
After you once get the trick of it,
Gee! It's a bore,
it's a bore,
you get sick of it.
And once you've seen the Broadway Glide,
you won't be happy till you've tried,
you will want to take it up,
take it up,
take it up,
and you'll want to shake it up,
shake it up, shake it up,
for ev'rybody does that Broadway Glide.

Standing on the corner
fortysecond street,
notice ev'rybody
shuffling their feet,
Even if you go into a swell café
see how all the people
at the tables will sway.
See the old tragedian
and young soubrette,
there's a Dutch comedian
and suffragette
over here over there.
See them do it ev'rywhere,
and ev'rybody seems to want
to throw their shoulders in the air.

Just watch them do that Broadway glide,
all kinds of people side by side,
Just see how easy they're taking it,
Look ev'rybody is shaking it,
After you once get the trick of it,
Gee! It's a bore,
it's a bore,
you get sick of it.
