Put One Foot in Front of the Other Lyrics by Mickey Rooney, Keenan Wynn

Santa Claus is Coming to Town (Soundtrack)

1970

[Chorus: Kris Kringle]
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking 'cross the floor
You put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking out the door
[Verse: Kris Kringle]
You never will get where you're going
If ya never get up on your feet
Come on, there's a good tail wind blowin'
A fast walking man is hard to beat
[Chorus: Choir & Kris]
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking 'cross the floor
You put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking out the door
[Verse: Kris Kringle]
If you want to change your direction
If your time of life is at hand
Well, don't be the rule; Be the exception
A good way to start is to stand
[Chorus: Choir & Kris]
[Winter]
If I want to change the reflection
I see in the mirror each morn...
(Oh, you do?)
You mean that it's just my election?
(Just that)
To vote for a chance to be reborn? Woo-hoo!
[Chorus: Slowly, at first with "You" on the first line, then goes into tempo on the last two lines]
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking 'cross the floor
You put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking out the door
[Chorus: Pause after "soon" & "walking"; "You'll" is replaced with "You are" in the ending]
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking 'cross the floor
You put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking out the door
