On Your Toes

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
See the pretty apple, top of the tree,The higher up, the sweeter it grows.Picking fruit you've got to beUp on your toes!See the pretty penthouse, top of the roof,The higher up, the higher rent goes.Get that dough, don't be a goof;Up on your toes!They climb the cloudsTo come through with airmail.The dancing crowdsLook up to some rare maleLike that Astaire male.See the pretty lady, top of the crop.You want to know the way the wind blows?Then, my boy, you'd better hopUp on your toes!Up on your toes!Remember the youth 'mid snow and iceWho bore the banner with the strange device:"Excelsior!"This motto applies to folks who dwell inRichmond Hill or New Rochelle, in Chelsea orIn Sutton Place.You've got to reach the heights to win the race.
