What are the complete lyrics to Will Everyone Here Kindly Step to the Rear?

Answer 1

Will everyone here kindly step to the rear

and let a winner lead the way.

Here's where we separate the notes from the noise,

the men from the boys,

the rose from the poison ivy.

Back in the bunch I came up with a hunch

this was your up-and-at-'em day.

It's one of those spells when you hear the right bells

And your horoscope tells you to say:

Will everyone here kindly step to the rear

and let a winner lead the way.

I hear those trumpets begin to blare

and now I'm Washington upon the Delaware.

Will everyone here kindly step to the rear

and let a winner lead the way.

Here's where we separate the duck from the quack,

the ace from the pack,

the pip from the macintoshes.

Back in the group I came up with a scoop

this was the time to rise and say:

I've got in my eye such a jubilant sky

that the Fourth of July will seem gray.

Will everyone here kindly step to the rear

and let a winner lead the way.

As our investments begin to grow

to quote from Davy Crockett at the Alamo:

Will everyone here kindly step to the rear

and let a winner lead the way.

Here he comes and things are thumbs-up.

He shows the bums up all down the way.

Here he comes, a heckuva fella,

I'd follow his smeller. I'd say OK.

There he goes, and boy, it shows ya,

Up on your toes you can't go astray.

So get in step behind a rep for vim and pep

and sheer old-fashioned guts and gumption.

Caviar and pheasant for dinner,

a winner will lead the way.

-- "Step to the Rear," (c) 1967 lyrics by Carolyn Leigh, music by Elmer Bernstein.
