Lyrics
CHORUS
It’s very simple if you care to try it;
A million people are reducing by it.
You needn’t bother ’bout a silly diet;
Try a One-Step or a Fox-Trot.
Go right ahead and eat a great big luncheon;
I guarantee that you will soon have one chin
Instead of two or three—
Just take a tip from me:
Dance and grow thin.
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
