Even dear old
Decker thought so much of the score from
Call
Me
Madam that they came out
with an album.
Here's
Washington
Square
Dance, the way I cut the disc for them.
Gordon
Jenkins waves the baton in this one,
an d his orchestra, chorus, and myself did
our best to follow
Gordon's expert direction.
square dance
the
Washington square dance
Republicans make up with the
Democrats
show those foreign diplomats that
you dare dance the
Washington square dance
no matter what side you're on or where
you stand take your partner by the hand
And in each pair dance, the
Washington
Square
Dance, the theme is a get -togeth
er policy.
Show our friends across the sea it's a fair dance,
the
Washington
Square
Dance.
The rules are the same as cricket, golf,
or squash, no fair cheating, cause the
Washington
Square
Dance is square.
Bow to your partners,
bow to your corners
Dance till your cheeks are red as a rose
But try not to step on your partner's toes
Now duck for the oyster,
dig for the clam
Duck for the oyster, dig for the clam
But do your digging for
Uncle
Sam
And one for the money,
two for the show
One for the money, two for the show
And three to get ready for
Uncle
Joe
Republicans over to the right
Democrats over to the left
The left meet the right
and don't explode
Try to find the middle of the road
And square dance, the
Washington square dance
Be careful, you'll have to
watch your step, by gosh
No round heels because the
Washington
Square
Dance is square!
It's a square dance, the
Washington
Square
Dance.
Be careful, you'll have to watch your step,
by gosh!
No round heels, because the
Washington
Square
Dance is square!
