Babes on Broadway movie - Hoedown lyrics
rate me<br>
PENNY: <br>
When our grandmas and our grandpas were just girls and boys, <br>
they seemed to have a lot more fun than we. <br>
Their party clothes were calicoes and homemade corduroys, <br>
and a big event was called a husking bee. <br>
A banjo, and a fiddle, and a big old fashion barn was all the prepartion that they made and<br>
if they tell you otherwise, dismiss it as a yarn, refreshments were confined to lemonade. <br>
Now you may say it's corny, and I guess I must agree, but it was good enough for grandma, <br>
it was good enough for grandpa, and it's good enough for me. <br>
Hoedown, the country's gone hoedown. It's puttin' its toe down,<br>
and kickin' its heel. <br>
Hoedown is really a rare dance, a pioneer square dance but with a new deal. <br>
One, two, swing your partner lightly while you hold her ever so tightly. <br>
Hoedown, and bring your best beau down, we're facin' a showdown and gotta make hay, <br>
'cause hoedowns on its way. Stand in line and do the turkey like a Yankee Doodle Dandy.<br>
<br>
TOMMY: When you turkey, do it jerky, that's the trick. Now you're hoein' on down.<br>
CHORUS: Sashay, sashay, sashay around while you're hoein' on down.<br>
PENNY: Form a circle in the middle, everybody allemande.<br>
TOMMY: Boys keep tempo with the fiddle, and your gal in the calico gown.<br>
CHORUS: Ho ho, ho ho, ho hoe on down with your calico gown.<br>
PENNY: do-si-do around, it's very romantic.<br>
CHOURS: Do-si-do<br>
TOMMY: Do-si-do some more and maybe she'll fall<br>
CHORUS: Do do do do hi-ho<br>
BOTH (Penny and Tommy):<br>
Now it's time to do your honors, <br>
then when you've gone through your honors promenade the hall.<br>
CHORUS: Da da da da da da<br>
BOTH: <br>
Hoedown, the countrys gone hoedown. <br>
Its puttin' its toe down, and kickin' its heel. <br>
Hoedown is really a rare dance, a pioneer square dance but with a new deal. <br>
One, two, swing your partner lightly while you hold her ever so tightly. <br>
Ho-ho-hoedown, and bring your best beau down, we're facin' a showdown and gotta make hay.<br>
CHORUS: Hoedown today<br>
BOTH: 'cause hoedowns on its way....<br>
CHORUS: Hoedown and bring you best beau down, we're facin' a showdown we gotta make hay....<br>
ALL:<br>
So hoedown, showdown, the hoe downs on it's way!!<br>
<br>
<br>
Chin Up! Cheerio! Carry On!<br>
PENNY:<br>
From the dark cafes of Paris, from the streets of Amsterdam,<br>
from the homes of old Vienna to the shores of Uncle Sam, <br>
wherever freedom's hope is true each heart cries out to you.<br>
Don't give up, Tommy Atkins, be a stout fella, <br>
Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on! <br>
Keep a stiff upper lip when you're in<br>
doubt, fella, Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on! <br>
Oh, the sun's sure to smile on your tight little isle, <br>
so hang on to your wits and you'll turn the blitz on Fritz, <br>
there's a whole world behind you shoutin' "stout fella!"<br>
Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on!<br>
<br>
BOYS:<br>
Don't give up, Tommy Atkins, be a stout fella, <br>
Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on! <br>
Keep a stiff upper lip when you're in doubt, fella,<br>
Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on! <br>
Oh, the sun's sure to smile on your tight little isle, <br>
so hang on to your wits and you'll turn the blitz on Fritz,<br>
there's a whole world behind you shoutin'<br>
"stout fella!" Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on!<br>
<br>
ALL:<br>
Don't give up, Tommy Atkins, be a stout fella, <br>
Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on! <br>
Keep a stiff upper lip when you're in doubt, fella, <br>
Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on!<br>
Oh, the sun's sure to smile on your tight little isle,<br>
so hang on to your wits and you'll turn the blitz on Fritz,<br>
there's a whole world behind you shoutin' "stout fella!"<br>
Chin up! Cheerio! Carry on!...Carry on!!!<br>
