Lyrics[]

Slow, slow, quick, quick.
Move across the floor.
Slow, slow, quick, quick
Charlie Brown (spoken): I'm only on page five of my book.
Shoulders back, stomach in,
Take a deep breath, now let's begin (again)
Slow, slow, quick, quick.
It's really lots of fun,
Just follow the footprints on the floor,
And you'll move as one.
(Instrumental break)
Slow, slow, quick, quick!
Just think of Fred Astaire!
Once you got the feeling,
You'll be flying through the air!
Now, just relax, glide along,
Keep the rhythm of the song!
Slow, slow, quick, quick! Slow, slow, quick, quick!
Slow, slow, quick, quick! (x4)
Slow, slow...
Charlie Brown (spoken): Good grief!
