Up in Albany der bunch
    Of Lawmakers got busy
Discussing Tangos, Castle Walks
    Und other dances dizzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vun chap said, \u201cUgh, dey neffer saw
    Such sights in grandpa\u2019s day
As can be seen most any night
    About der cabaret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll see a couple slide about,
    Ven suddenly dey slip
Und mit der knees dey hit der floor,
    Dat\u2019s vat dey call der dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOr maybe in der middle of
    A dance der girl vill faint,
Her partner holds her off der floor,
    But she unconscious ain\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDat only is anudder stunt
    Dat makes der dance unique,
Und dere\u2019s a heap of udder dings
    About vhich I could speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut vat I want to say is dis,
    Dese dances shouldn\u2019t be,
So I vill resolution dat
    Ve name a Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnd it vill go about der State
    Investigating dings
About dese naughty dances, und
    Make some recommendings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Und ven der news got spread abroad,
    Such crowds you neffer saw
For jobs on der committee to
    Inspect dose dances raw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
