Lyrics:
"EVERYBODY STEP"   Words & Music. Irving Berlin.  Copywright  1921.
VERSE;   " Soon you'll hear a tune that's gonna lift you out of your seat.

It could be sweeter but then the meter was written especially for your feet.

Fly away up high upon a syn-co-pa-ted bal-loon

A little ginger will never injure, hear them tuning up - they'll be playing soon.
CHORUS: "Everybody step to the syn-co-pa-ted rhythm. Let's be going with `em when they begin.

You'll be sayin' yes sir, the band is grand - He's the best professor in all the land.

Listen to the pep that emerges from the middle of the jazzy fiddle under his chin.

Oh, what music  - the clarineter could not be better.
Hear that strain, I don't know just what it is, but it's great.

They simply ruin it - Look at `em doing it.Come, come don't hesitate  -
Everybody step if you want to see a glutton, when it comes to sruttin' over the ground -

Wait'll you see my little sweetie and me step, step, stepping around."
