    (continued from previous page)
    step for awhile;
    Sure he thought he had it down fine;
    He went to a girl and he asked her to waltz;
    And he wheeled her out into the line;
    He walked on her feet and he fractured her toes;
    And he said that her movement was false;
    Sure the poor girl went 'round for ten weeks on a crutch;
    For teaching McFadden to waltz;
