Orpheus in the Underworld: Act II. Infernal Galop Can-Can

Can-Can - Johann Strauss Orchestra

There is no trick to a can-can,

It is so simple to do,

When you once kick to a can-can,

'Twill be so easy for you.

If a lady in Iran can-can

If a shady African can-can

If a Jap with a slap of her fan can,

Baby, you can can-can too.

If an English Dapper Dan can,

If an Irish Callahan can,

If in Cannes ev'ry tan courtesan can-can

Baby, you can can-can too.

If in Deauville ev'ry swell can

It is so simple to do,

If Debussy and Ravel can,

'Twill be so easy for you.

If the Louvre custodian can-can

If the Guard Republican can-can

If Van Gogh and Matisse and Cézanne can,

Baby, you can can-can too.

If a chief in the Sudan can,

If the hefty Aga Khan can,

If the camels in his caravan can,

Baby, you can can-can too.

Takes no art to do a can-can,

It is so simple to do,

When you start to do a can-can,

'Twill be so easy for you.

If a slow Mohammedan can,

If a kilted Scottish clan can,

If in Wagner a Valkyrian can,

Baby, you can can-can too.

If a lass in Michigan can,

If an a** in Astrakhan can,

If a bass in the Saskatchewan can,

Baby, you can can-can too.
