Ballin the Jack

Ballin the Jack - Judy Garland/Gene Kelly

From coast to coast

From Canada to Mexico

They're doing a new

Dance the tried and true

Yes it will sweep the land

And you'll think it's so grand

You'll have to learn how to do it

So please don't poo poo it

'Cause we got this little dance

It's gonna rise to fame

It's sure to put most any other dance to shame

The Turkey Trot the Bunny Hug the Tickly Toe

Will be forgotten when we start to go

Mr Leader won't you start the syncopation

And we'll begin our little demonstration

Now first

You put your two knees close up tight

Then you sway 'em to the left

And you sway 'em to the right

Step around the floor kinda nice

And light then you twist around

And twist around with all of your might

Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space

Then you do the Eagle Rock with style and grace

Swing your foot way 'round and bring it back

Now that's what I call Ballin' the Jack

Ballin' the Jack
