ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE RAG
(Steve Belsey)
Oh my honey! It's not funny!
When I woke up I couldn't move a muscle.
I was achin', my back was breakin'
I was feelin' sore, couldn't take no more.
I was then sure, it was my posture
So I went out to find an Alexander
Teacher, reacher,
To get me moving again.
Come on around, come on around
For the Alexander Technique rag
Lay on the ground, lay on the ground
For the Alexander Technique rag
In just half an hour, it will make you feel so glad
It'll cure aches and pains that you never knew you had
You'll walk home feelin' ten feet tall
An' that's not all.
Come on around, come on around
There's this gal you ought to meet.
An' lay right down, an' lay right down
An' let her take you by the feet
An' if you want your spine to feel just fine
Tomorrow mornin'
Come on around, come on around
For the Alexander Technique rag!
On the table, I was able
To move my hands and legs in all directions
And then to sittin', I got to quittin'
Slouchin' on the seat, crossing legs and feet.
I got to walkin' I started talkin'
In a voice so deep, and so seductive.
Upright, alright.
Back on top of the world!
Come on around, come on around
For the Alexander Technique rag
Lay on the ground, lay on the ground
For the Alexander Technique rag
In just half an hour, it will make you feel so glad
It'll cure aches and pains that you never knew you had
You'll walk home feelin' ten feet tall
An' that's not all.
Come on around, come on around
There's this gal you ought to meet.
An' lay right down, an' lay right down
An' let her take you by the feet
An' if you want your spine to feel just fine
Tomorrow mornin'
Come on around, come on around
For the Alexander Technique rag!
If you wan't that spell, that makes you well
Then go to see her.
Come on along (come on along)
Come on along (come on along)
The Alex - an - der - Tech - nique Rag.
