Lyrics

You ask if I’m a North Carribean
South European, Central Chilean
I figure I’m a terpsichorean
My home is in my shoes
I know the dances back thru the voodoo
War steps the Sioux do
Foxtrots that you do
Show me a polka that very few do
Bet I can tell you whose
Start a dance, dance, dance
From Fort Wayne or France
I’ll assume the stance tout suite
I feel right at home in Madrid or Rome
When I’m roamin’ with my feet
Be patriotic, sing out your peans
Stick up for “you-uns”
Fight back for “we-uns”
Be one of them there Mediterreans
I harbor diff’rent views
Old Terpsichore is the spot for me
‘Cause my home is in my shoes
