Alt. Lyrics:

You oughta see Mr. Jones when he rattles the bones,

Old Colonel Brown movin 'round like a clown.

Miss Virgina, who is past eighty three,

Shouting out full of pep, full of pep

"Watch your step!  Watch your step!"

One-legged Joe dancin' around on his toe,

Threw away his crutches hollered, "Let 'em go!"

And cryin' "Hail, hail, the gang's all here for the Alabama Jubilee!"
