Lyrics
1. Who’s dat comin’ down the street, Texas Dan
Paten Regals on his feet, Texas Dan
See that headlight in his tie
Certainly just hurts my eye
Dazzles every passer by, Texas Dan
For style and form he’s more than warm
Chorus:
Texas Dan, gamblin’ man
Takes a milk bath every day
And a sunbath up and down Broadway
Texas Dan, sportin’ man
The sun keeps shinin’ all the time for
Texas Dan
2. Dines at every swell cafe, Texas Dan
Twenty-seven times a day, Texas Dan
Noted Broadway’s greatest swell
All his clothes are made by Bell
No use talking, blood will tell, Texas Dan
For style and form he’s more than warm
