"Step To The Rear" lyrics

"Step To The Rear"

Hey, will every here
Kindly step to the rear
Here's where we separate the notes from the noise
The men from the boys
The rose from the poison ivy
Back in the bunch
I came up with the hunch
This was an up and at 'em day
Yes, it's one of those spells
When you hear the right bells
And your horoscope tells you to say
Will everyone here
Kindly step to the rear
And let a winner lead the way

I hear those trumpets
Begin to blare
And now I'm Washington upon the Delaware

Will everyone here
Kindly step to the rear
And let a winner lead the way
Here's where we separate the duck from the quack
The ace from the pack
The pip from the Macintoshes
Back in the group
I came up with the scoop
This was the time to rise and say
I've got in my eye such a jubilant sky
That the 4th of July
Will seem gray
Yes, will everyone here
Kindly step to the rear
And let a winner lead the way?

As my assurance begins to grow
To quote from Davey Crockett at the Alamo
I was stuck in the group
Draggin' on like a troop
This was the time to rise and say
I've got in my eye such a jubilant sky
That the 4th of July
Will seem gray
Yes, will everyone here
Kindly step to the rear
And let a winner lead the way?
