stephen sondheim - can that boy foxtrot! lyrics
i know this grocery clerk
unprepossessing
some think the boy’s a jerk
they have my blessing
but when he starts to move
he aims to please
which only goes to prove
that sometimes in a clerk you
find a hercu-
les. he hasn’t much that’s plus
you might describe him thus
a false alarm
a broken arm
an imitation hitler
and with littler
charm
but oh, can that boy foxtrot!
his mouth is mean
he’s not too clean
what makes him look reptilian
is the brillian-
tine, but oh, can that boy foxtrot!
who knows what i saw in him?
i took a chance
oh yes, one more flaw in him:
he can’t dance
as dumbbells go
he’s rather slow
and as for being saintly
even faintly
no
but who needs albert schweitzer
when the lights are
low?
and oh boy, oh boy, can that boy foxtrot!
right now as i speak of him
i hear those drums
and oh, the technique of him
he’s all thumbs
his jokes are quaint
and fairly faint
he may be full of hok-m
but i’ve no com-
plaint
he often is a bore
but on the floor
he ain’t
and oh boy, oh boy, can that boy foxtrot!
