Keep Your Seats Please
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a catchword getting all the craze, it's the latest phrase
Everybody says
Hold tight keep your sets please
No one knows just why it first broke out, what it's all about
Why do people shout
Hold tight keep your seats please
What a sensation, talk of the nation, how it travels round
Even the Hindoos, Kaffirs and Zulus, they've all got it
Hear them holla it
In the talkies holding hands perhaps, all you girls and chaps
On each others laps
Hold tight keep your seats please
If you're in a public bar one day and hear a Scotchman say
For the drinks I'll pay
Hold tight keep your seats please
If a lady speaker starts to bawl, I can prove to all why
You women fall
Hold tight keep your seats please
What a sensation, talk of the nation, how it travels round.
Even the Hindoos, Kaffirs and Zulus, they've all got it
Hear them holla it
Your old flame upon her wedding day hears the parson say
Who'll give her away
Hold tight keep your seats please
On the donkeys by the gay seaside should the saddle slide
Upside down you'll ride but hold tight keep your seats please
If your landlady who's so precise says the chicken's nice
Let me help you twice
Hold tight keep your seats please
What a sensation, talk of the nation, how it travels round
Even the Hindoos, Kaffirs and Zulus, they've all got it
Hear them holla it
On the swing boats when you ladies go, mind the crowds below
Take care what you show
Hold tight keep your seats please
