Length: approx. 4¼ mins.
Curly is a gay march two-step in AABBACCA form with a 4-bar introduction and a 4-bar interlude between the A- and C-strains whereby the AABBA- and CCA-strains are in the major keys of F and Bb respectively. The melodies are shared by the descant and 1st tenor voices whilst there are a few walking passages for the basses. The cover of the original sheet music shows a voluptuous curly redhead looking archly at the observer as though she really means business.
