Al Duvall - Were The Marathon Dance Band Lyrics

Bee's knees, jeepers creepers
Bread lines and Wall Street leapers
We're the marathon dance band
Palookas drag their slappers
Chained onto fainting flappers
We're the marathon dance band
For twenty days now we've been going steady
Playing the Charleston Lindy baby and the Sacco-Vanzetti
Longer faster louder
Keep up or take a powder
We're the marathon dance band
The marathon dance band

Exhausted, underfed--it's
Nice work if you can get it
Wе're the marathon dance band
Wе take a crippled nation
And stir up a big sensation
We're the marathon dance band
Don't stand in line for handouts out in the snowstorm
Stay a while and fake a smile and dance, dance your toes warm
You've got to try by golly
Or foxtrot beneath a trolley
We're the marathon dance band
The marathon dance band
Oh, nowadays gold diggers have to use sifters
Shake and wiggle those busted gigolos, four-flushers, and grifters
Good times or great depression
Your fun is our profession
We're the marathon dance band
The marathon dance band
The marathon dance band
The marathon dance band
The marathon dance band
