I'm moving with that traveling two-beat That old New Orleans how do you do beat I left the port of New York, travelled up the Rhine Jumped to Killarney and Cork How did it sound? Just fine The whole wide world is whistling dixie So grab a dance with Mimi or Trixie In Paris they're leading you to that Napoli, they happily do that Sicily, they welcome you to that traveling two-beat time ♪ Us foreign chicks are digging a two beat (I'm hip! I'm hip!) We get our kicks by doing this new beat It made us Britishes bounce soon as it began (Oh I say that!) In France we give it a flounce and is it a ball? Oui man In Vera Cruz we do it up dandy We play a horn like W.C. Handy (Oh the daddy!) In Brazil we're ready to buy that In Seville we really are high that Ross Seville is ready to try that traveling two-beat time ♪ The swiss are waving their cheese Yodeling through each hole The fat Dutch are slapping their knees Whenever they rock, they roll! The Germans drink it down with their lager (Rhyme that!) They like it like the kids in Chicago (Sneaky!) In Japan they temple and dawn it Hindustan, they like to ding-dong it In Sudan, they're playing our song It makes the place sublime It's that hoopty-do beat Red white and blue beat Traveling two-beat time (What time!)
