The Goose Step 1910

Have you ever heard about
the goose step?
Foolish looking shiftless
sort of loose step?
Started in the barnyard
down upon the farm,
birds of ev'ry feather,
started dancing it together
gives you such a funny feeling
round the wish bone,
Makes you cackle
like you're swallowing a fish bone,
Goosy hooks her gander by the wing
and they meander
in the waddling toddling
goose step dance.

Waddle along with me
toddle along with me,
listen to me beg
now don't you wait to lay an egg
I want to cuddle together, love,
feather to feather, love,
Honey, what's the matter, goodness me,
you're getting fatter
won't you place your wings above me
like a dove of peace,
ruffle up my feathers
till I yell "Police!"
Don't know what you're goin' to do
but don't you cease
that waddling, toddling,
waddling, toddling goose step dance.

Waddle along with me
toddle along with me,
listen to me beg
now don't you wait to lay an egg
I want to cuddle together, love,
feather to feather, love,
Honey, what's the matter, goodness me,
you're getting fatter
won't you place your wings above me
like a dove of peace,
ruffle up my feathers
till I yell "Police!"
Don't know what you're goin' to do
but don't you cease
that waddling, toddling,
waddling, toddling goose step dance.

Talk about your chickens taking chances
talk about your animal romances,
rabbit and the rooster
parrot and the fox,
wiggeling zooology
without the least apology
is mixing in a feathery flirtation,
dancing with a strange intoxication,
keep your eye on Mother Goose
she's goin' to teach another goose,
that wrestling, nestling goose step dance.

Waddle along with me
toddle along with me,
listen to me beg
now don't you wait to lay an egg
I want to cuddle together, love,
feather to feather, love,
Honey, what's the matter, goodness me,
you're getting fatter
won't you place your wings above me
like a dove of peace,
ruffle up my feathers
till I yell "Police!"
Don't know what you're goin' to do
but don't you cease
that waddling, toddling,
waddling, toddling goose step dance.

Waddle along with me
toddle along with me,
listen to me beg
now don't you wait to lay an egg
I want to cuddle together, love,
feather to feather, love,
Honey, what's the matter, goodness me,
you're getting fatter
won't you place your wings above me
like a dove of peace,
ruffle up my feathers
till I yell "Police!"
Don't know what you're goin' to do
but don't you cease
that waddling, toddling,
waddling, toddling goose step dance.
