CAN-CAN LYRICS
If a flip co-median can,
If a hip o-lympian can,
If Bardot and Monroe and Diane can,
Baby, you can can-can too.
If a crazy Taliban can,
If a lazy, paunchy man can,
If a tired soccer mom in a van can,
Baby, you can can-can too.
If a blue-nosed Puritan can,
If a blue-hosed Dodger fan can,
If a proud samurai from Japan can,
Baby, you can can-can too.
I GET A KICK OUT OF YOU
I get no kick on a train.
Riding the rails
Through the vales
And the gales
Always fails because it’s cuckoo.
But I get a kick out of you.
I get no kick while in Spain.
A bull in a fight
As a sight
Gives me fright
It’s not right and it knocks me askew.
But I get a kick out of you.
I get no kick in the rain.
Getting too wet
With some pretty coquette
On a bet would just give me the flu.
But I get a kick out of you.
LET'S DO IT
Tennis players on a court do it,
Contortionists who contort do it,
Let's do it, Let's fall in love,
Highlanders playing pipes do it,
Zebras with their clashing stripes do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love,
Hedonists without a care do it,
Naturists who are quite bare do it,
Fire eaters with a flare do it,
Seniors in an old armchair do it,
French folks in a wild affaire do it,
Travelers traveling everywhere do it,
Cruise ship passengers with mal de mer do it,
Flyers in the open air do it,
Trumpet players with a blare do it,
Models in their underwear do it,
Ministers with a hasty prayer do it,
I once saw a billionaire do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
YOU'RE THE TOP
You're the top!
You're an Oscar winner.
You're the top,
You're a lobster dinner.
You're a redwood tree, a prodigy, a hit.
You're a song by Bing, a diamond ring,
A favorite.
You're a star,
You're a cowboy ropin'
You're under par
At the U.S. Open.
I'm a dirty slob, a worthless blob, a mop,
But if baby I'm the bottom you're the top!
Offering a parody by the master wordsmith of songs is risky business.
Doing it four times is insane. You are crazy good, Alan.
