"They" lyrics

"They"

They came to see you shimmy for them, all right
And they came to see you Hully Gully, all right
And they came to see a bit of pure entertainment
But never were happy
And they weren't satisfied
And they weren't satisfied

They came to see you do the Texas Two-Step
And they came to see the Philly Slide done right
And they came to see an endless show
But they left with not getting their fill, and so
They felt so let down
And they felt so let down

And they, they, they, they, they
Saw you do the Hitchhike in a Béjart kind of way
And they, they, they, they, they
Saw you do the Cha-Cha in a Balanchine-like way

And they hoped you would do the Twist, all night
And they hoped you would do the Twine, all night
And they felt so let down
And they felt so let down

And they, they, they, they, they
Came to see you do the Shimmy, but they did not stay
