Dulcet Refrains

“Put your little foot, put your little foot, put your little foot right there;
Put your little foot, put your little foot, put your little foot right there.
Did you see my new shoe?
Mother bought them for …” – Colonel Emmett Anderson

“Put Your Little Foot”

Put your little foot, put your little foot, put your little foot right there;
Put your little foot, put your little foot, put your little foot right there
Take a step to the right, take a step to the left,
Take a step to the rear but forever stay near.
