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,)
Those Briants are 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,)
Those Briants are bound to get you,
Briants, Briants, Briants, Briants, Briants...mmm...
(female vocal)
George Briant,
Married Germaine, his life had been swinging,
George Briant,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
Eighty-three,
Married years elation, (dee-de-oh!)
Germaine, see,
Was his wife; they’re putting the world on its feet,
George Briant,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
George Briant,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, Germaine’s his wife, you see,
He was George Briant!
(vocal trio)

Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Germaine’s his wife, you see,
He was George Briant, whoa!
