Keep Your Seats Please Songtext
von George Formby

There′s a catchword getting all the craze
It's the latest phrase everybody says

Hold tight, keep your seats please

No one knows just why it first broke out
What it′s all about, why do people shout

Hold tight, keep your seats please

What a sensation, talk of the nation
How it travels round

Even the Hindus, Kaffirs and Zulus
They've all got it, hear 'em holler it

In the talkies holding hands perhaps
All you girls and chaps on each other′s laps

Hold tight, keep your seats please

If you′re in a public bar one day
And hear a Scotchman say for the drinks I'll pay

Hold tight, keep your seats please

If a lady speaker starts to bawl
I can prove to all why you women fall

Hold tight, keep your seats please


What a sensation, talk of the nation
How it travels round

Even the Hindus, Kaffirs and Zulus
They′ve all got it, hear 'em holler it

Your old flame upon her wedding day
Hears the parson say who′ll give her away

But hold tight, keep your seats please

On the donkeys by the Gacy side
Should the saddle slide upside down you ride

But hold tight and keep your seats please

If your landlady who's so precise
Says the chicken′s nice let me help you twice

Hold tight, keep your seats please

What a sensation, talk of the nation
How it travels round

Even the Hindus, Kaffirs and Zulus
They've all got it, hear 'em holler it

On the swing boats when you ladies go
Mind the crowds below, take care what you show

Hold tight and keep your seats please
