There is no trick to a can-can
It is so simple to do
When you once kick to a can-can
'Twill be so easy for you
If a lady in Oran can
If a shady African can
If a chap with a slap of a fan can
Baby, you can, can, can too
If an English Dapper Dan can
If an Irish Callahan can
If in Cannes every tan courtesan can
Baby, you can, can, can too
If in Deauville every swell can
It is so simple to do
If Debussy and Ravel can
'Twill be so easy for you
If the Louvre custodian can
If the Guard Republican can
If Van Gogh and Matisse and Cezanne can
Baby, you can, can, can too
If a chief in the Sudan can
If the hefty Aga Khan can
If the camels in his caravan can
Baby, you can, can, can too
There is no trick to a can-can
It is so simple to do
When you once kick to a can-can
'Twill be so easy for you
If a slow Mohammedan can
If the kilted Scottish clan can
If in Waterloo a Valkyrian can
Baby, you can, can, can too
If a lass in Michigan can
If an ass in Aspen can, can
If a bass in the Saskatchewan can
Baby, you can, can, can too
If a dachshund in Berlin can
If a tomtat in Pekin can
If a crowded sardine in a tin can
Baby, you can, can, can too
