[Teddy:] Now if you're feeling happy
so happy,
The proper thing to do,
[Girls:] Would be to take a chance and
Show us a dance
for we have heard a lot of you,
[Teddy:] Well ladies if you'll tell me,
pray tell me the dance you'd like to try,
[Girls:] Oh! We'll leave that to you
any new one will do,
[Teddy:] Then the Futurist dance we'll try.

[Teddy:] Oh! That futurist twirl,
take a futurist whirl
with your futurist girl,
Do that futurist glide,
Take a futurist slide,
with you're futurist bride.
Oh! that wonderful sway
drives all trouble away,
and it's landed to stay,
so do the futurist trot,
the finest dance of the lot,
a little practice
and you'll be O.K.

Oh! That futurist twirl,
take a futurist whirl
with your futurist girl,
Do that futurist glide,
Take a futurist slide,
with you're futurist bride.
Oh! that wonderful sway
drives all trouble away,
and it's landed to stay,
so do the futurist trot,
the finest dance of the lot,
a little practice
and you'll be O.K.

[Girls:] A little touch Egyptian,
Egyptian,
Is all your movements show,
and now and then disclose
the angular pose
of Frescoes painted long ago,
We'll do our best to follow,
to follow the dance as danced by you,
[Teddy:] Soon quite expert you'll be,
It is just A.B.C.
[Girls:] Oh, we hope what you say is true.

[Teddy:] Oh! That futurist twirl,
take a futurist whirl
with your futurist girl,
Do that futurist glide,
Take a futurist slide,
with you're futurist bride.
Oh! that wonderful sway
drives all trouble away,
and it's landed to stay,
so do the futurist trot,
the finest dance of the lot,
a little practice
and you'll be O.K.

Oh! That futurist twirl,
take a futurist whirl
with your futurist girl,
Do that futurist glide,
Take a futurist slide,
with you're futurist bride.
Oh! that wonderful sway
drives all trouble away,
and it's landed to stay,
so do the futurist trot,
the finest dance of the lot,
a little practice
and you'll be O.K.
