Andy: “A ludicrous little song - the first that Colin ever wrote.”

Lyrics[]

Watch them go one two three

I'm so happy and so is she

In a 'Danceband'

Show slow Quick quick slow

Heel to heel and toe to toe

In a 'Danceband'


You can do the Bosanova

'Till the night is through

You know Gay Gordon

You can meet him too

But when you hear that tune

One and one makes two

Don't step on my toes


Watch them go one two three

I'm so happy and so is she

In a 'Danceband'

Show slow Quick quick slow

Heel to heel and toe to toe

In a 'Danceband'


You can do the Bosanova

'Till the night is through

You know Gay Gordon

You can meet him too

But when you hear that tune

One and one makes two

Don't step on my toes
