The the'ter, the the'ter
What's happened to the the'ter?
Especially where dancing is concerned

[1]

Chaps who did taps aren't tapping anymore
They're doing choreography

Chicks who did kicks aren't kicking anymore
They're doing choreography

Queens with routines
That would stop the show in days that used to be

One and all
They're not chancing what we used to call dancing
Instead of dance, it's choreography

[2]

Jakes who did breaks aren't breaking anymore
They're doing choreography

Who did softshoe doesn't do it anymore
They're doing choreography

Heps who did steps
That would stop the show in days that used to be

Through the air
They keep flying like a duck that is dying
Instead of dance, it's choreography
