Stumbling

‘Tention folks, speak of jokes
This is one on me
Went with my friend, to a dance
At the armory

Music played, dancers swayed
Then we joined the crowd
Now he can’t dance but we took a chance
And right then we started

Stumbling all around, stumbling all around
Stumbling all around so funny
Stumbling here and there, stumbling everywhere
And I must declare, he stepped right on my toes
And when he bumped my nose
I fell and when I rose

I felt ashamed and then he told me
That’s the latest step, that’s the latest step
That’s the latest step, my honey
Notice all the pep, notice all the pep, notice all the pep!
I said: Stop mumbling, tho you are stumbling
I like it just a little bit, just a little bit, quite a little bit

Stumbling all around, stumbling all around
Stumbling all around so funny
Stumbling here and there, stumbling everywhere
And I must declare, he stepped right on my toes
He reeled all my clothes, shinned his shoes on my hose, it made me rave!

I told him: Please leave me alone
Keep your tappy tone, don’t let it roam, you’re clumsy
I grabbed him by the floor
Oh he got my toes! Put just like a boat
I started squawking, I said: Try walking, upon the floor a little bit
Why you’re stumbling round? Stumbling all around!
