FIRST THE HEEL

First the heel,
And then the toe,
That's the way
The polka goes.

First the toe,
And then the heel,
That's the way
To dance a reel.

Quick about,
And then away,
Lightly dance
The glad Strathspey.

Jump a jump,
And jump it big,
That's the way
To dance a jig,

Slowly, smiling,
As in France,
Follow through
The country dance.

And we'll meet Johnnie Cope in the morning.
