When those Finale Hoppers start hoppin’ around
a 1922 popular song
words by Harry White
music by Willie White
The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- I’ve been all around this earth
In every foreign land
I’ve seen all those wobbly zuzus
Down in Zuzuland
But there’s a tribe right here
The queerest of the queer
I’ll tell you all about them
So kindly lend us your ear
Chorus
When those “finale hoppers”
Start hopping around
You’d think that Barnum’s curcus
Just blew into town
With their shoe string ties and dented hats
Some wear socks and others spats
Each dapper with his flapper
Bobbing up and down like acrobats
All those “finale hoppers”
Made dancing and art
Their style of Camel walking
Breaks many a heart
When they get hungry they partake
Of their two course dinner
Of coffee and cake
When those “finale hoppers”
Start hoppin’ around
- At a party or a dance
they always congregate
Important bus’ness is the reason
They are always late
They’re sure to have a friend
Who will always gladly lend
They take while he keeps putting
Their time is all they spend
