Lyrics
I know this grocery clerk Unprepossessing Some think the boy's a j*rk They have my blessing But when he starts to move He aims to please Which only goes to prove That sometimes in a clerk you Find a Hercules He hasn't much that's plus You might describe him thus: A false alarm A broken arm An imitation Hitler and with littler charm But oh, can that boy foxtrot! His mouth is mean He's not too clean What makes him look reptilian is the brilliantine But oh, can that boy foxtrot! Who knows what I saw in him? I took a chance Oh, yes, one more flaw in him: He can't dance As dumbbells go He's rather slow And as for being saintly, even faintly, no But who needs Albert Schweitzer when the lights are low? And oh boy, oh boy Can that boy foxtrot! (spoken) Very nice But no dice (sung) You just can't foxtrot (spoken) Good lad Too bad (sung) He just can't foxtrot Right now as I speak of him I hear those drums! And oh, the technique of him— He's all thumbs His jokes are quaint And fairly faint He may be full of hokum but I've no complaint He often is a bore, but on the floor he ain't— And oh boy, oh boy Can that boy foxtrot!
