When Francis dances with me, Hully Gee,
I'm as gay as can be,
He takes me to dances 'cause that's what I love,
I fit in his arms like a motorman's glove,
Oh, the Bow'ry, the Bow'ry,
We don't go there anymore,
He wears a tuxedo and gee, how it fits,
He looks like the headwaiter up at the Ritz,
And I wear a gown that's got twenty-eight slits,
When Francis dances with me.
