Subject: Lyr Add: THEY ALL WALK THE WIBBLY WOBBLY WALK
I found this recording at The Internet Archive:


THEY ALL WALK THE WIBBLY WOBBLY WALK
Words and music by Paul Pelham and J. P. Long.
As recorded by Fred Elliot, 1913.

1. Have you ever heard about the wibbly wobbly walk?
Well, just in case you've not,
I'll tell you on the spot:
The wibbly wobbly walk is only just another way
Of saying that the boys are off upon their holiday.
Notice half a dozen fellows out upon a spree.
In half a dozen minutes they are full of jollity.

CHORUS: And they all walk the wibbly wobbly walk,
All talk the wibbly wobbly talk,
All wear wibbly wobbly ties,
And wink at all the pretty girls with wibbly wobbly eyes.
Oh, they all smile the wibbly wobbly smile
When the day is dawning,
And all through the wibbly wobbly walk,
They get a wibbly wobbly feeling in the morning.

2. At a seaside health resort you'll see some gay old dogs
Who once were fond of sport,
And knew the taste of port.
Their feet are tied in bundles and you know without a doubt
Their virtues are rewarded with a bad attack of gout.
The band is playing on the pier but they don't care a jot.
They know it's quite impossible to do the turkey trot. CHORUS
