That Travelling Two Beat
I'm moving with that traveling two-beat
That old New Orleans how do you do beat
I left the port of New York, travelled up the Rhine
Jumped to Killarney and Cork
How did it sound?
Just fine
The whole wide world is whistling dixie
So grab a dance with Mimi or Trixie
In Paris they're leading you to that
Napoli, they happily do that
Sicily, they welcome you to that traveling two-beat time
Us foreign chicks are digging a two beat
(I'm hip! I'm hip!)
We get our kicks by doing this new beat
It made us Britishes bounce soon as it began
(Oh I say that!)
In France we give it a flounce and is it a ball?
Oui man
In Vera Cruz we do it up dandy
We play a horn like W.C. Handy
(Oh the daddy!)
In Brazil we're ready to buy that
In Seville we really are high that
Ross Seville is ready to try that traveling two-beat time
The swiss are waving their cheese
Yodeling through each hole
The fat Dutch are slapping their knees
Whenever they rock, they roll!
The Germans drink it down with their lager
(Rhyme that!)
They like it like the kids in Chicago
(Sneaky!)
In Japan they temple and dawn it
Hindustan, they like to ding-dong it
In Sudan, they're playing our song
It makes the place sublime
It's that hoopty-do beat
Red white and blue beat
Traveling two-beat time
(What time!)
That old New Orleans how do you do beat
I left the port of New York, travelled up the Rhine
Jumped to Killarney and Cork
How did it sound?
Just fine
The whole wide world is whistling dixie
So grab a dance with Mimi or Trixie
In Paris they're leading you to that
Napoli, they happily do that
Sicily, they welcome you to that traveling two-beat time
Us foreign chicks are digging a two beat
(I'm hip! I'm hip!)
We get our kicks by doing this new beat
It made us Britishes bounce soon as it began
(Oh I say that!)
In France we give it a flounce and is it a ball?
Oui man
In Vera Cruz we do it up dandy
We play a horn like W.C. Handy
(Oh the daddy!)
In Brazil we're ready to buy that
In Seville we really are high that
Ross Seville is ready to try that traveling two-beat time
The swiss are waving their cheese
Yodeling through each hole
The fat Dutch are slapping their knees
Whenever they rock, they roll!
The Germans drink it down with their lager
(Rhyme that!)
They like it like the kids in Chicago
(Sneaky!)
In Japan they temple and dawn it
Hindustan, they like to ding-dong it
In Sudan, they're playing our song
It makes the place sublime
It's that hoopty-do beat
Red white and blue beat
Traveling two-beat time
(What time!)
