HENRY:
All you preachers
Who delight in panning the dancing teachers
Let me tell there are a lot of features
Of the dance that carry you through…

HENRY/COMPANY:
The gates of heaven
It’s madness

HENRY:
To be always sitting

HENRY/COMPANY:
Always sitting around in sadness

HERY:
When you could be learning the steps of gladness
You’ll be happy when you can do…

HENRY/COMPANY:
Just six or seven

HENRY:
Begin today
You’ll find it nice
The quickest way to paradise
When you practice
Here’s the thing to do
Simply say as you go
(spoken to Adam) What you doing in my song?

ADAM:
(spoken) I wrote it

HENRY:
On Monday happy as a lark
You’ll be getting started
When you learn to tow the mark
That’s tow the mark

HENRY/ADAM/COMPANY:
Tow the mark!
ADAM:
On Tuesday you ought to show
Both your little regals
How to do the heel and toe
That’s the heel and toe

ADAM/COMPANY:
Heel and toe!

HENRY:
On Wednesday walk around the block
And then every corner
Stop and do the eagle walk
That’s the eagle walk
HENRY/COMPANY:
Eagle walk

HENRY:
On Thursday whistle as you go
To a journey off to Buffalo

ADAM:
On Friday take a little stroll
And do the Oceana roll

HENRY:
On Saturday you then let a go
When you do the tow the lo

HENRY/ADAM:
On Sunday I will guarantee
That you can do the chivalry
Chivalry, chivalry, chivalry

All together now!

HENRY/ADAM/COMPANY:
Tow the mark, heel and toe, eagle run off to Buffalo!
Oceana roll, tow the lo, chivalry
There you go!

DANCE BREAK

HENRY/ADAM/COMPANY:
I’ll build a stairway to paradise
With a new step every day
I’m going to get there in any price
Stand aside I’m on my way

HENRY:
Hey! I’ve got the blues
And up above its so fair
Shoes go on and carry me there

HENRY/COMPANY:
I’ll build a stairway to paradise

HENRY:
With a new step everyday!

HENRY/COMPANY:
With a new, step, every, day!

HENRY:
Day…

COMPANY:
I’ll build a stairway to paradise
With a new step everyday!
