Can-Can Lyrics by Various Artists

Miss Yankee Doodle Dandy

1964

Ev'rybody
Chic or shoddy
Ev'rybody loves to dance
Since that big dance
Infra-dig dance
Called the "can-can" captivated France
Why does it kill ev'ry care?
Why is it done ev'rywhere?
There is no trick to a can-can
It is so simple to do
When you once kick to a can-can
'Twill be so easy for you
If a lady in Iran can
If a shady African can
If a Jap with a slap of her fan can
Baby, you can can-can too
If an English Dapper Dan can
If an Irish Callahan can
If an Afghan in Afghanistan can (Or: If in Cannes ev'ry tan courtesan can)
Baby, you can can-can too
If in Deauville ev'ry swell can
It is so simple to do
If Debussy and Ravel can
'Twill be so easy for you
If the Louvre custodian can
If the Guard Republican can
If Van Gogh and Matisse and C?zannе can
Baby, you can can-can too
If a chief in the Sudan can
If the hеfty Aga Khan can
If the camels in his caravan can
Baby, you can can-can too
Takes no art to do a can-can
It is so simple to do
When you start to do a can-can
'Twill be so easy for you
If a slow Mohammedan can
If a kilted Scottish clan can
If in Wagner a Valkyrian can
Baby, you can can-can too
If a lass in Michigan can
If an ass in Astrakhan can
If a bass in the Saskatchewan can
Baby, you can can-can too
If the waltz king Johann Strauss can
It is so simple to do
If his gals in Fledermaus can
'Twill be so easy for you
Lovely Duse in Milan can
Lucien Guitry and R?jane can
Sarah Bernhardt upon a divan can
Baby, you can can-can too
If a holy Hindu man can
If a gangly Anglican can
If in Lesbos, a pure Lesbian can
Baby, you can can-can too
If an ape gargantuan can
It is so simple to do
If a clumsy pelican can
'Twill be so easy for you
If a dachshund in Berlin can
If a tomcat in Pekin can
If a crowded sardine in a tin can
Baby, you can can-can too
If a rhino with a crash can
If a hippo with a splash can
If an elm and an oak and an ash can
Baby, you can can-can too
