IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Choreography

[Verse:]

The the'ter, the the'ter

What's happened to the the'ter?

Especially where dancing is concerned



[1st refrain:]

Chaps who did taps aren't tapping anymore

They're doing choreography



Chicks who did kicks aren't kicking anymore

They're doing choreography



Queens with routines

That would stop the show in days that used to be



One and all they're not chancing

What we used to call dancing

Instead of dance, it's choreography



[2]

Jakes who did breaks aren't breaking anymore

They're doing choreography



Who did softshoe doesn't do it anymore

They're doing choreography



Heps who did steps

That would stop the show in days that used to be



Through the air they keep flying

Like a duck that is dying

Instead of dance, it's choreography



[As sung in the film:]

The the'ter, the the'ter

What's happened to the the'ter?

Especially where dancing is concerned



Chaps who did taps aren't tapping anymore

They're doing choreography



Chicks who did kicks aren't kicking anymore

They're doing choreography



Heps who did steps

That would stop the show in days that used to be



Through the air they keep flying

Like a duck that is dying

Instead of dance, it's choreography
