Keeping Cool With Coolidge

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (The Musical)


Dorothy
Get set! get hot!
Get the lead out of your you-know-what!
Let's show our president
We're glad he's the white house resident.

Step on the gas
And dance to a rhythm that's class-a,
Hey, hey,
This is the way
We're keepin' cool with coolidge.
Be up to date
And pass up a rhythm that's passe,
Hey, hey,
Wiggle and sway,
We're keepin' cool with coolidge.
Young folks, old folks, shake a leg,
Ev'rything is hotsy-totsy.
Even if they break a leg,
Who cares?
Mama loves jazz,
Papa loves jazz,
Razz-a-ma, razz-a-ma, razz-a-ma-tazz!
What a relief
You get when the rhythm has gotcha,
Hotcha,
Hail to the chief,
We're keepin' cool with coolidge,
He's our pal,
We're keepin' cool with cal.

All
Young folks, old folks, shake a leg,
It's the cat's meow,
Oh, wow! and how!
Even if they break a leg,
Who cares?
Papa says "yes!"
Mama says "no!"
Vo-de-o, vo-de-o, vo-de-o-do!
Don't be a snoop!
Don't be a droop!
Boop-e-doop, boop-e-doop, boop-boop-e-doop!
Cal has got the country boomin',
Down on wall street, stocks are zoomin',
Still he's so darn unassumin'!
Ha-ha! hee-hee!
What a relief
You get when the rhythm has gotcha,
Hotcha,
Hail to the chief,
Hail to the chief,
He's our favorite son
And we hope that he'll run
In nineteen-twenty-eight,
'cause he's great, great, great!
