(Mister Tap Toe, mister happy tappy toe
Mister Tap Toe, I wanna go along with you)


Struttin’ down the street, got rhythm in your shoes
Shufflin’ away the blues, Mister Tap Toe
You haven’t any time to lose, Mister Tap Toe
Who’s the gal you’re gonna choose


A new straw hat with the candy bar stripe,
Sharper than an old tin tack, Mr Tap Toe
The melon on the vine is ripe, Mister Tap Toe
Who you takin’ out tonight 


Where did you get those fancy clothes
The pretty hand painted tie
Cigar stickin’ out from under your chapeau
Who’re you gonna dance with tonight, Mister Tap Toe


Give a gal a break; got a dress that’s new
The pavement’s big enough for two, Mister Tap Toe
To dance along aside of you, Mister Tap Toe
Tell me what you’re gonna do 
(Watcha gonna do, Mister Tap Toe)


Mister Happy Tappy Toe (Mister Tap Toe)
Mister Happy Tappy Toe 
I wanna go along with you


(Guitar solo)


Where did you get those fancy clothes
The pretty hand painted tie
Cigar stickin’ out from under your chapeau
Who’re you gonna dance with tonight, Mister Tap Toe


Give a gal a break; got a dress that’s new
The pavement’s big enough for two, Mister Tap Toe
To dance along aside of you, Mister Tap Toe
Tell me what you’re gonna do 
(Watcha gonna do, Mister Tap Toe)


Mister Happy Tappy Toe (Mister Tap Toe)
Mister Happy Tappy Toe
I wanna go along with you


I’ve got a shufflin’ shoe
We’ll dance the whole night through
I wanna go along with you
I wanna go along with you-ou-ou
I wanna go along with you!
