The Cootie Crawl Lyrics by Julia Moody

The Paramount Project Volume 2 (12100-12199)

0

[Verse]
Way down in Memphis, Tennessee
They've got a brand new dance you see
In every park and cabaret
They do the dance all night 'til break of day
It started at the Third Street ball
But now they dance it at the Chisca hall
They go wild about that new dance craze
When the jazz band plays
[Chorus]
You grab your girl around the waist just so
You do the shotgun across the floor
You shake your shimmy with your shoulders and hand
Then you stop, Lawdy, daddy, papa, don't it sound grand
Once more you glide your girl around the floor
You do the slow drag one and all
Then you shimmy, toddle, shout to cutout
That's the dance they call thе Cootie Crawl
I mean that's the dancе they call the Cootie Crawl
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Once more, you grab your girl around the waist just so
You do the slow drag across the floor
Shake your shimmy with your shoulders and your hand, and
Oh daddy, papa, papa, ain't this music grand
Once more you glide your girl around the hall
You'll do the slow drag around the floor
Then you shimmy, toddle, shout to cutout
That's the dance they call the Cootie Crawl
I mean that's the dance they call the Cootie Crawl
