Doin' The Suzie-Q

Doin' The Suzie-Q - Lil Hardin Armstrong

Now come gather 'round us folks

Let us tell you 'bout this swing

Let us tell you 'bout the dance

Was invented just for you

Now you swing over here

Now you swing over there

For you swing on out

And you do the Suzie-Q

Oh you're dancing

Yes you're prancing

When you hear the music play

That's your cue

Yes you're trucking

Doin' the shim-sham

Then you swing on out

And you're doin' the Suzie-Q

Now stop unless you do forget

You ain't seen nothing yet

Until you see this dance that's new

Oh you truck over here

Swing over there

You tip just like you're walkin' on air

Then you're doin' the Suzie-Q

Now hot step new

That you will give them

Good old pep and low-down rhythm

Now come and give yourself a treat

Watch these babies shake their feet

What they're doing

They're doin' the Suzie-Q
