Lyrics
See those ladies running about
Oh, what an echo when they shout
“Say! Tony’s in town Hey! Tony’s in town”
Everybody’s spreading the news
And running for their dancing shoes
‘Cause Tony’s in town, Yes! Tony’s in town
Can he dance? I’ll say he can
When it comes to dancing
He’s the international man
All night long the party is on
And they won’t stop till break of dawn
‘Cause Tony’s in town, Tony’s in town
INTERLUDE
Look at the way that he does it
Ain’t he the graceful gazelle?
What is the new step he’s doing?
I’d give a new hat
If I could do that a quarter as well
Watch while he bows to a lady
Watch how he kisses her hand
Come on, you boys, take a lesson
You’ve got to admit he’s made a big hit
He’s perfectly grand
