The New York Glide

The New York Glide - Ethel Waters

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
