Accompaniment:
Lyrics
When you’re dancing to a Dixie strain
With a cutie from the land of Spain
Some Senorita with big black eyes
You forget you ever had a care
Pep right up and step around on air
You’re just a short way from Paradise
Chorus
Allez Up! take your lady by her little hand
Allez Up! when you hear the military band
Strike up a Rigadoon, beneath a Spanish moon
To some old Southern tune from Dixieland
Allez Up! can’t you hear that syncopated strain?
Allez Up! you may never get a chance again
You never had a thrill, and never will
Until you find a little bit of Dixieland in Spain
