Jimmy: <br>

spoken<br>

I was just passing the hotel, going no where, killing time, when I <br>

heard your snappy music.<br>

Millie:<br>

spoken<br>

You mean you don't know anyone here?<br>

Jimmy: <br>

Sure, you. Dance?<br>

Millie: <br>

Well, I studied ballroom and tap back home, but I'm not up <br>

on the latest dances.<br>

Jimmy:<br>

Good, I always make up my own anyway. Give me a name.<br>

Millie:<br>

What for?<br>

Jimmy:<br>

For our new dance!<br>

Millie:<br>

Gosh, I've never named a dance before, or anything.<br>

Jimmy:<br>

Well, what did you have for dinner?<br>

Millie:<br>

Franks.<br>

Jimmy:<br>

"trying it out" Franks? Franks, franks, franks, franks. <br>

No, what else?<br>

Millie:<br>

Saurkraut.<br>

Jimmy:<br>

"trying it out" Saurkraut? Saurkraut. No. What else?<br>

Millie: Oh, I had tapioca for pudding.<br>

Jimmy:<br>

Tapioca? Join me in the Tapioca?<br>

Everybody tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tapioca,<br>

Everybody, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slapioca.<br>

If ya got the dap, dap, dap-dap-dappier flappers flap-flap-flappier<br>

Everyone is happier when the do the tap tapioca.<br>

When they do the flap flapioca.<br>

Tap, tap, tap, tapioca,<br>

Slap, slap, slap, slapioca,<br>

Tap, tap, tap, tap the tapioca.<br>

Let's pretend we've got a bowl, we're gonna have some sport. Ha!<br>

Add trumpled licks and a rag-time beat, let's say about a quart. Yeah!<br>

Ya stir and stir it with your knee, adding a bump or two.<br>

Ya heat it, mash it, beat it, smash it, if there's a lump or two.<br>

Don't let the temperature drop to many degrees,<br>

Or you'll wind up with what is called the frozen tapioca freeze!<br>

Everybody, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap tapioca, everybody freeze!<br>

Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap slapioca everybody freeze!<br>
