| 'Tention folks, speak of jokes |
| This is one on me |
| Took my gal to a dance |
| At the armory |
| Music played, dancers swayed |
| Then we joined the crowd |
| I can’t dance, took a chance |
| And right then we started |
| Stumbling all around, stumbling all around |
| Stumbling all around so funny |
| Stumbling here and there, stumbling everywhere |
| And I must declare, I stepped right on her toes |
| And when she bumped my nose |
| I fell and when I rose |
| I felt ashamed and told her |
| That’s the latest step, that’s the latest step |
| That’s the latest step, my honey |
| Notice all the pep, notice all the pep, notice all the pep |
| She said, «Stop mumbling, tho you are stumbling |
| I like it just a little bit, just a little bit, quite a little bit» |
| Young and small short and tall |
| Folks most everywhere |
| Take a chance do this dance |
| They think it’s a bear |
| People rave and they crave |
| Just to do this step |
| Off they go, nice and slow |
| When the band starts playing |
| Stumbling all around, stumbling all around |
| Stumbling all around so funny |
| Stumbling here and there, stumbling everywhere |
| And I must declare, I stepped right on her toes |
| And when she bumped my nose |
| I fell and when I rose |
| I felt ashamed and told her |
| That’s the latest step, that’s the latest step |
| That’s the latest step, my honey |
| Notice all the pep, notice all the pep, notice all the pep |
| She said, «Stop mumbling, tho you are stumbling |
| I like it just a little bit, just a little bit, quite a little bit» |
