Come along o' me on Saturday night Come along o' me and you'll see a sight Down our little court we gives it a tone By 'oldin' a dancin' class all on our own There's Ria and Billy an' ginger-haired Tilly They're all right enough just ter swell the list They're ready and willin' an' fair kadrillin' But my little Flo' does the twist... Chorus: Fair Flo' ter watch yer's a treat Can't take my eyes off yer feet An' you're as nice as you're neat I'm dead nuts on yer dancin'. You should see 'er do a step on the Kerb Talk abart style! Well, there it's superb 'Nuff to make a bloke go clean orf 'is dot An' offer 'is 'and an' 'is 'eart on the spot The organ plays quicker, I bring 'er a liquor Sez I, 'yer a good un!' I'm rumbo!' she said Sez I, 'Smart and clever.' Sez she, 'S'elp me never I'd do that there much on my 'ead.' Chorus: Covent Garden balls is all very fine Covent Garden market's more in my line Not a bit of fancy dress down our court In 'Oundsditch our feavers an' jooils is bought The orgin plays 'Daisy' or the Marsillaisy' The toon doesn't matter, my Flo's allus game At toein' or 'ealin' or Catherine wheelin' You've only ter give it a name...
