lyrics

Bee's knees, jeepers creepers, bread lines and Wall Street leapers
We're the marathon dance band
Palookas drag their slappers, chained onto fainting flappers
We're the marathon dance band
For twenty days now we've been going steady
playing the Charleston Lindy baby and the Sacco-Vanzetti
Longer faster louder keep up or take a powder
We're the marathon dance band
Exhausted underfed it's nice work if you can get it
We're the marathon dance band
We take a crippled nation and stir up a big sensation
We're the marathon dance band
Don't stand in line for handouts out in the snowstorm
Stay a while and fake a smile and dance dance your toes warm
You've got to try by golly or foxtrot beneath a trolley
We're the marathon dance band
Nowadays gold diggers have to use sifters
Shake and wiggle those busted gigolos four-flushers and grifters
Good times or great depression your fun is our profession
We're the marathon dance band
