Off-Broadway Musical Marry Me a Little - Can That Boy Foxtrot! Lyrics
(Cut from Follies the Musical. Written by Stephen Sondheim)
I know this grocery clerk, Unprepossessing; Some think the boy's a jerk. They have my blessing. But when he starts to move He aims to please, Which only goes to prove That sometimes in a clerk You find a Hercules.
He hasn't much that's plus You might describe him thus ...
A false alarm, A broken arm. An imitation Hitler But with littler charm. But oh, Can that boy foxtrot!
His mouth is mean, He's not too clean, What makes him look reptilian Is the brilliantine. But oh, Can that boy foxtrot.
Who knows what I saw in him? I took a chance. Oh yes ... one more flaw in him. He can't dance.
As dumbbells go, He's rather slow And as for being saintly, Even faintly, no, But who needs Albert Schweitzer When the lights are low, And oh boy, oh boy, Can that boy ... foxtrot!
Right now as I speak of him I hear those drums, And oh the technique of him -- He's all thumbs! His jokes are quaint and fairly faint, He may be full of hokum but I've no complaint; He often is a bore but on the floor he ain't And oh boy oh boy Can that boy ... foxtrot!
