Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They call him Mister Sycadore
You spot him by the door
Patent shoes and a lucky grin
Then the band cuts in
He spins that cane like a ringmaster
Moves light, moves faster
Every heel on the floorboards knows
When Mister Sycadore goes
[Pre-Chorus]
He tips his hat, says "Pardon me"
Then steals the whole balcony
The organ climbs, the room agrees
He’s got the shuffle in his knees
[Chorus]
Mister Sycadore, go on and sway
Mister Sycadore, clear the way
Every lady starts to pour
To the shine of Mister Sycadore
(Mister Sycadore)
Mister Sycadore, nice and sly
Mister Sycadore, wink that eye
When he steps, the rafters roar
For the charm of Mister Sycadore
(Mister Sycadore)
[Verse 2]
Miss Rose with the ribboned hair
Keeps looking over there
Miss June in the blue lamé
Turns when he glides her way
He bows like he owns the moon
Then changes the tune
One-two-three, and the floor swings round
Like it’s tied to his sound
[Pre-Chorus]
The ceiling seems to lean in close
The ladies rise, the fellows toast
He marks the beat with a silver shoe
And every move says "through and through"
[Chorus]
Mister Sycadore, go on and sway
Mister Sycadore, clear the way
Every lady starts to pour
To the shine of Mister Sycadore
(Mister Sycadore)
Mister Sycadore, nice and sly
Mister Sycadore, wink that eye
When he steps, the rafters roar
For the charm of Mister Sycadore
(Mister Sycadore)
[Bridge]
Now the key turns up a stair
And he’s still right there
With a velvet bow and a gambler’s smile
Making every heart wait a while
Then down he drops, then up once more
Like thunder through the ballroom floor
Hear that cheer, then hear it soar
That’s Mister Sycadore
[Chorus]
Mister Sycadore, go on and sway
Mister Sycadore, clear the way
Every lady starts to pour
To the shine of Mister Sycadore
(Mister Sycadore)
Mister Sycadore, nice and sly
Mister Sycadore, wink that eye
When he steps, the rafters roar
For the charm of Mister Sycadore
(Mister Sycadore)
