[1st verse:]
Dancing teacher, give us a chance
We came here to learn how to dance
That brand new dance they call the Fox Trot
The lovin' Fox Trot
If you'll kindly show us the way
Any price we're willing to pay
Take us each in turn
We're all ready to learn

[Refrain:]
[Boys:] Dancing teacher show us how to do the Fox Trot
[Mrs. Castle:] You'll have to watch your step
[Boys:] Won't you come and show us how to do the Fox Trot?
[Mrs. Castle:] You'll have to watch your step

[Boys:] Tell us what to do
[Mrs. Castle:] You must follow me
[Boys:] Can we do it too?
[Mrs. Castle:] Very easily
[Boys:] Kindly show us
[Mrs. Castle:] Watch me, watch me

[Boys:]
That dance is simply great
And it's so up-to-date
It beats the Tango, One-Step
And the others we know so
Dancing teacher, once again
Show us how it's done and then
We'll do the Fox Trot the whole night long

[2nd verse:]
Dancing teacher, do it some more
Glide us gently over the floor
Until we learn to dance the Fox Trot
The lovin' Fox Trot
Really it's a barrel of fun
Though it's not so easily done
If you'll see us through
We'll be doing it too
