| 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 which side you’re on or where you stand
|
| Take your partner by the hand
|
| And each pair dance
|
| The Washington Square dance
|
| The theme is a get-together policy
|
| Show your 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 cheatin' 'cause the Wash-
|
| -ington 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 diggin' for Uncle Sam
|
| -One for the money, two for the show
|
| One for the money, two for the show
|
| Three to make 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 Wash-
|
| -ington Square dance is square |
