Performer(s): Billy Cotton
and multiple other artists



I can-can and you can-can
So why should not we two can-can
Who can-can like you can-can
Who can do can-can like you can
To the tune they can-can to
We'll polka while we parley-vous
Few can-can like you can-can
In the Can-Can Polka

One hop, two hop
Knee up high and wave your toes
One shake, two shake
That's the way this polka goes
One kick, two kick
Simple when you know the trick
Turn round, bend down
In the Can-Can polka

They do it in the follies
All the Frenchy Dollies
Looking frilly in their frilly foll-dee-rollies
Dressed only in their flounces
Everybody bounces
When they do the polka to the can-can

I can-can and you can-can
So why should not we two can-can
Who can-can like you can-can
Who can do can-can like you can
To the tune they can-can to
We'll polka while we parley-vous
Few can-can like you can-can
In the Can-Can Polka

They do it in the follies
All the Frenchy Dollies
Looking frilly in their frilly foll-dee-rollies
Dressed only in their flounces
Everybody bounces
When they do the polka to the can-can

I can-can and you can-can
So why should not we two can-can
Who can-can like you can-can
Who can do can-can like you can
To the tune they can-can to
We'll polka while we parley-vous
Few can-can like you can-can
In the Can-Can polka
