Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Just back from gay Paree
Their dances you should see
You’ll find that they are different from the rest
So I will teach you one dance they love best
First you must learn the way
They do the parbleu sway
Non compre Mister but you have it not
Just watch me while I dance that great French Trot
Chorus:
First try, the kick I think you call it sky high
Then sway this way from left to right and back again
Oo la la la what delight
Now swing your partner round with all your might
Oh, what a feeling
It makes the heart just hit the ceiling
It helps a lot if you have got a girl
You call the Johnny on the spot
To do with you the French Trot
Sung here by Fred Feild:
