The Lyrics
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That news show is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That news show is bound to get you,
News show... news show... news show... news show... news show... mmm...
(female vocal)
Dateline Steps,
Start in to watch, then soon, you’ll be watching,
Dateline Steps,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
It’s a talk sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the show that’s putting the world on its feet,
Dateline Steps,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Dateline Steps,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, Lester Holt’s on TV,
It’s the Dateline Steps!
(vocal trio)
Dateline Steps,
Start in to watch, then soon, you’ll be watching,
Dateline Steps,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
It’s a talk sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the show that’s putting the world on its feet,
Dateline Steps,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Dateline Steps,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Lester Holt’s on TV,
It’s the Dateline Steps, whoa!
Dateline Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
Dateline Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
One, two, three,
It’s a talk sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the show that’s putting the world on its feet,
Dateline Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
Dateline Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Lester Holt’s on TV,
It’s the Dateline Steps, whoa!
Simple as the day is long!
