HOT DOG
(Words, Schuyler Greene. Music, Jerome Kern. From the show "Very Good Eddie," 1915.)

CHORUS: There's a café that the real swells know.
It is safe, and I long to go,
Just to shake my dogs about
Where the thoroughbred pups hang out.
There's a floor that is smooth and grand.
Something more: there's a big jazz band.
When I hear the music play,
I could throw myself away.

Roo-ti-too-ti-too-ti!
Come, my little beauty,
Step a little step with me.
Where the lights are gay, kid,
Till the break of day, kid,
Join me in a jamboree.
I have bottled up a lot
Of love I've not
Uncorked as yet.
Linger just within my reach,
So I can teach
You how to pet.

I'll put my arms around you, baby,
Hold you close, and maybe,
After we have stepped a few,
We shall both adorn a
Cozy little corner,
Big enough for just us two.
Hid away from all our bunch,
We'll sip our punch
And cool eggnog.
Life is full o' beauty,
Dancin' with my cutie,
Roo-ti-too-ti-toot-hot-dog.
