Poem

CANCAN
For seven dead aunts and for number eight in advanceAunts they canna dance
Canna dance the home cancan
Clockclock-drink hock
Up frock
Frock rock
Around the clock
Wobbling with those knobbly knees
Bobbing with those knockers
And with those shinbones
Hop hop
No need to stop
Dance all dance the home cancan
Aunts they canna dance
Chubby chubby home cancan
Bobbing wobbling
White flock
On the frocks
Oh that blissful home cancan
Now don’t you fret
Don’t fret my pet
Now don’t hobble to the doctor’s
With your bumps your little lumps
Hop hop gallop don’t stop
Cancer up and cancer down
Well, well, get well soon
Dance all dance the home cancan
Chubby aunts they canna dance
Chubby chubby home cancan
Make your head stop
Put on some pop
Put your stick in the hall now
Drink hock up frock
Rock around the clock
Aunts canna dance the home cancan
Dig your high heels in the lino
Stamp your blisters in the cinders
Don’t you limp now, don’t be wimps now
Grab each other by the waist now
Battling cattle red as wattle
Strutting strutting
Oh how blissful that we can
We can we can we can
Chubby aunts canna cough tool
Chubby chubby cough pastilles
Whistling and grizzling
Whistling and grizzling
Whistling and grizzling

KANKAN
KANKAN
Voor zeven dode tantes en alvast voor nummer achtTantes kanne danse
Kanne danse thuiskankan
Klokklok-slok op
Rok op
Rok rok
Klok rond
Klotse mette knotsknieën
Botse mette borste
En mette botte
Hop hop
Nou kannut nog
Danse danse thuiskankan
Tantes kanne danse
Dikke dikke thuiskankan
Botse klotse
Vlokke
Op de rokke
Godsoheerlijk thuiskankan
Nu nie tobbe
Nee nie tobbe
Nu nie hobbele naar de dokter
Metje bobbels metje knobbels
Hop hop in galop
Kankerop en kankeraf
Beter, beter, beterschap
Danse danse thuiskankan
Dikke tantes kanne danse
Dikke dikke thuiskankan
Zet je kop stop
Zet een plaat op
Zet je stok toch op de gang
Slok op rok op
Rok de klok rond
Tantes danse thuiskankan
Stans je hakke in de vlakte
Stamp je blare in de brand
Nu nie manke, nu nie janke
Pak mekander bij de flanke
Hossende osse met blosse
Ronken ronken
Godsoheerlijk daddutkan
Het kan het kan het kan
Dikke tantes kanne hoeste
Dikke dikke hoestbonbon
Gierende grienende
Gierende grienende
Gierende grienende
