Stumbling (Paraphrase), for piano

                                  'Tention folks, speak of jokes

This is one on me

Took my gal to a dance 

At the armory

Music played, dancers swayed

Then we joined the crowd

I can't dance, took a chance

And right then we started

 

Stumbling all around, stumbling all around

Stumbling all around so funny

Stumbling here and there, stumbling everywhere 

And I must declare, I stepped right on her toes

And when she bumped my nose

I fell and when I rose

I felt ashamed and told her 

That's the latest step, that's the latest step

That's the latest step, my honey

Notice all the pep, notice all the pep, notice all the pep

She said, "Stop mumbling, tho you are stumbling

I like it just a little bit, just a little bit, quite a little bit"

 

Young and small short and tall

Folks most everywhere

Take a chance do this dance

They think it's a bear

People rave and they crave 

Just to do this step

Off they go, nice and slow

When the band starts playing

 

Stumbling all around, stumbling all around

Stumbling all around so funny

Stumbling here and there, stumbling everywhere 

And I must declare, I stepped right on her toes

And when she bumped my nose

I fell and when I rose

I felt ashamed and told her 

That's the latest step, that's the latest step

That's the latest step, my honey

Notice all the pep, notice all the pep, notice all the pep

She said, "Stop mumbling, tho you are stumbling

I like it just a little bit, just a little bit, quite a little bit"
