Lyrics

  1. Some folks spend their whole lives sitting still
    In a groove, won’t move and never will
    Don’t be labeled a Babbitt
    Loafin’s only a habit
    “Shake your feet,” we repeat
    You’ll get a thrill, when you go

Chorus:
Steppin’ high, steppin’ low
Do your stuff, don’t be slow
You can’t go wrong
Step, Step, Steppin’ Along
When your toes twinkle high
Trouble blows right on by
Me, oh my, oh, just keep Steppin’ Along
When you get lonesome, feelin’ blue
Try a few steps gymnastic
You’ll come smiling through
Tripping the light fantastic
Steppin’ high, steppin’ low
Start a smile, watch it grow
You can’t go wrong
Step, Step, Steppin’ Along

  1. Take a little tip from one who knows
    Just keep wide awake right on your toes
    Life is only a pastime
    Take advantage in fast time
    Once you’ve tried, you’ll decide
    You’re wasting time, unless you’re
