One two, one two three four
Alright, that's the melody
Now, here it is with the mouth,
As performed at Eva's wedding
Come on Ruth, come on
Ah, come on Ruth, sing along
Come on Ruth, harmonize with him
A-ren-ne-henna
Okay,
Achtung!
One two, one two three four
...are wondering about
It's a hit!
Chester!
...shoe
Chester
Suzy
Quattro
Funky
Take the towels
We want you to take them to your country
No, don't pay us for the towels
We insist
Towels
Suitcase
Get it through customs
And now, here is way number three:
With the feet!
Hey!
It's so modern
Can't have any of that
Later on we'll have a dance-contest
And some lucky member of the audience
Will win a quart of Finnish champagne!
That's a good...
That's a good...
Just wanna see how long...
Right! Okay
Alright, now here it is, all the way through
It's so exhilarating
Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue!
Hey! That's a good idea, isn't it
Thank you!
Thank you very much
Thank you, and thank you
And thank you some more
And thank you very much
And thank you
And thank you
Giddis, thank you, thank you...
