The Subway Squeeze 1911

There's a brand new dance
doesn't come from France.
You can do it all right
for it's one you know;
If you ever go
in the Subway at night
to a stap you hold
as around you're rolled.,
Or you fall to your knees.
That's the time
when you're ready to dance
in the Subway Squeeze.
Tall girls to the right of you!
Small girls to the left of you!
Grab the leather now!
All together now
while we dance if you please.

Wow there!
Don't be crushing me!
Yow! there!
Don't be mushing me!
Now! There!
Don't be rushing me!
All together there
sloppy weather there!
Clinging back and forth we go!
Swinging swinging in a row,
all as snug as a bug in a rug
in the Subway Squeeze

Wow there!
Don't be crushing me!
Yow! there!
Don't be mushing me!
Now! There!
Don't be rushing me!
All together there
sloppy weather there!
Clinging back and forth we go!
Swinging swinging in a row,
all as snug as a bug in a rug
in the Subway Squeeze

Round a turn you go!
Someone's on your toe!
Then you holler: "Oh My!"
Then a woman's hat
with a pin like that
jabs you square in the eye!
Then you lose your strap
fall in someone's lap,
Saying: "Pardon me please!"
Lots of exercise
all of the time
in the Subway Squeeze.
Tall girls to the right of you!
Small girls to the left of you!
Grab the leather now!
All together now
while we dance if you please.

Wow there!
Don't be crushing me!
Yow! there!
Don't be mushing me!
Now! There!
Don't be rushing me!
All together there
sloppy weather there!
Clinging back and forth we go!
Swinging swinging in a row,
all as snug as a bug in a rug
in the Subway Squeeze

Wow there!
Don't be crushing me!
Yow! there!
Don't be mushing me!
Now! There!
Don't be rushing me!
All together there
sloppy weather there!
Clinging back and forth we go!
Swinging swinging in a row,
all as snug as a bug in a rug
in the Subway Squeeze..
