"Roller Skate Rag" lyrics

"Roller Skate Rag"
(from "Funny Girl" soundtrack)

Whee! Whee!

Laura! Sandra! Carrie! Norma! Ruthie! Polly! ...Fanny!

The roller skate rag's a really up-to-date rag
It's heard every place you'll find the grand old flag
Kick your skates, spin your wheels
You're gonna be surprised how your torso feels!
Whee! Whee!
The girls in Paree, in gay Paree 'cross the sea
Say it's bigger than can-can ever used to be
Twirl your hips, shake your mop
The ever lovin' roller skatin' rag is on top!

Kick your skates, spin your wheels, twirl your hips, kick, spin, twirl, shake

Get your heart a-palpitatin'
Get your torso undulatin'
Be forever syncopated
Naughty and accelerated
Ever lovin' roller skatin' rag is on top!


Writer(s): Jule Styne, Bob Merrill
