Everybody's going crazy

About the different dances of the day;

Everybody in this whole entire world

Is trying to learn the dance and sway;

Here's one dance you ought to learn,

It's something simply grand;

Now folks, it is so simple

Anyone can understand.

And if you'll take a chance,

I'll show you how to do this dance:



Just grab your partner

'Round the waist,

Hook her lightly

In her place,

Just lay back and do the shimaree,

Buzz up to your baby like a bumblebee.

Then lay back and do that eagle rock;

Please, professor, don't you ever stop,

Swing your partner, then you slide;

That's the New York Glide!



You can all have your tickle toe,

I mean, that's a dance you can do,

But if you should once see this dance,

I know that you would be amused;

Anywhere you hear this tune,

It sneaks up on your mind;

And if you love good music,

Why, you're going to keep in time;

And when you hear that band,

You'll say this dance is simply grand!

Just grab your partner

'Round the waist,

Pull her lightly

In her place;

Just lay back and do the shimaree;

Buzz up to your baby like a bumblebee.

Then lay back and do that eagle rock;

Please professor, don't you ever stop;

Swing your partner, then you slide;

That's the New York Glide
