Step to the Rear

Will everyone here
Kindly step to the rear
And let a winner lead the way?
Here's where we separate
The notes from the noise
The men from the boys
The rose from the poison ivy

Back in the bunch
I came up with a hunch
This was your up and at 'em day
It's one of those spells
When you hear the right bells
And your horoscope tells you to say

Will everyone here
Kindly step to the rear
And let a winner lead the way

I hear those trumpets
Begin to blare
And now I'm Washington upon the Delaware

Will everyone here
Kindly step to the rear
And let a winner lead the way
Here's where we separate
The duck from the quack
The ace from the pack
The pip from the Macintoshes

Back in the group
I came up with a scoop
This was the time to rise and say
I've got in my eye
Such a jubilant sky
That the Fourth of July will seem gray

Will everyone here
Kindly step to the rear
And let a winner lead the way

As our investments
Begin to grow
To quote from Davy Crockett
At the Alamo

Will everyone here
Kindly step to the rear
And let a winner lead the way

Here he comes
And things are thumbs up
He shows the bums up
All down the way
Here he comes
A hiccup a fella
I'd follow this fella
And say
Okay

There he goes
And boy, it shows ya
Up on your toes ya
Can't go astray
So get in step
Behind a rep
For vim and pep
And sheer old fashioned guts and gumption

Caviar
And pheasant for dinner
A winner will lead the way

Will everyone here (Here he comes)
Kindly step to the rear (and things are thumbs up)
And let a winner lead the way (he shows the bums up all down the way)
Here's where we separate (here he comes)
The notes from the noise (a hiccup a fella)
The men from the boys (I'd follow his fella)
The rose from the poison ivy (I'd say, "Okay")

Back in the bunch (There he goes)
I came up with a hunch (and boy, it shows ya)
This was an up and at 'em day (up on your toes, ya can't go astray)
It's one of those spells (so get in step)
Where you hear the right bells (behind a rep)
And your horoscope tells you to say (for vim and pep and sheer old-fashioned guts and gumption)

Will everyone here (Caviar)
Kindly step to the rear (and pheasant for dinner)
And let a winner lead the way (a winner will lead the way)
Charlie!
