📜 Lyrics

All you preachers
Who delight in panning the dancing teachers
Let me tell you there are a lot of features
Of the dance that carry you through
The gates of Heaven

It's madness
To be always sitting around in sadness
When you could be learning the steps of gladness
You'll be happy when you can do
Just six or seven

Begin today!
You'll find it nice
The quickest way to paradise
When you practice
Here's the thing to do
Simply say as you go

What are you doing in my song?

I wrote it!

On Monday, happy as a lark
You'll be getting started
When you learn to toe the mark
That's toe the mark
Toe the mark

On Tuesday then you ought to show both your little regals
How to do the heel-and-toe
That's the heel-and-toe
Heel-and-toe

On Wednesday walk around the block
And at every corner, stop and do the eagle rock
That's the eagle rock
Eagle rock

On Thursday whistle as you go
On a journey off to Buffalo

On Friday take a little stroll
And do the Oceana roll

On Saturday then, you let her go
When you do the toe the low

On Sunday I will guarantee
That you can do the chivalry
Chivalry, chivalry, chivalry

All together now!
Toe the mark
Heel and toe
Eagle rock off to Buffalo
Oceana roll
Toe the low
Chivalry, there you go!

I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day!
I'm going to get there at any price
Stand aside, I'm on my way!

I've got the blues
And up above it's so fair
Shoes! Go on and carry me there!
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day
With a new step every day

I'll build a stairway to Paradise (I'll build a stairway to Paradise)
With a new step every day!
