Willie Fitzgibbons who used to sell ribbons, And stood up all
day on his feet, Grew very spooney on
Madeline Mooney, Who'd rather be dancing than eat. Each
evening she'd tag him, to some dance hall drag him, And when the band
started to play, She'd up like a silly and
grab tired Willie, Steer him on the floor and she'd say:
Willie De Vere was a dry goods cashier, At his desk he would
sit all the day, Till his doctor advised him to
start exercising, Or else he would soon fade away. One
night this poor looney met Madeline Mooney, Fitzgibbons then
shouted with joy, " She's a good health regainer, you've
got a great trainer, Just wait till she hollers my boy. "
" Waltz me around again Willie, around, around, around; The
music is dreamy, it's peaches and creamy, Oh! don't let my feet touch the
ground. I feel like a ship on an ocean of joy, I
just want to holler out loud, " Ship Ahoy! " Oh! waltz me around again
Willie, around, around, around. " round.
