Doing The Reactionary

(album: Pins And Needles - 1962)

It's darker than the dark bottom
It rumbles more than the Rumba
If you think that the two-steps got 'em
Just take a look at this number
It's got that certain swing
That makes you wanna sing

Don't go left, but be polite
Move to the right
Doing the reactionary

Close your eyes to where you're bound
And you'll be found
Doing the reactionary

All the best dictators do it
Millionaires keep stepping to it
The Four Hundred love to sing it
Ford and Morgan swing it

Hands up high and shake your head
You'll soon see red
Doing the reactionary

Don't go left, but be polite
Move to the right
Doing the reactionary

Close your eyes to where you're bound
And you'll be found
Doing the reactionary

All the best dictators do it
Millionaires keep stepping to it
The Four Hundred love to sing it
Ford and Morgan swing it

Hands up high and shake your head
You'll soon see red
Doing the reac
Doing the reac
Tionary

So get in it, begin it
It's smart, oh, so very
To do the reactionary!
