The Big Apple

The Big Apple - Tommy Dorsey & His Clambake Seven/Edythe Wright

DORSEY: Hiya fellahs what's new

THE BAND: Not much

DORSEY: Not much Well hello Edythe what's new with you

WRIGHT: I've got a new dance I'd like to show it to you

If you've got rhythm to burn

Here's a dance that's easy to learn

If you don't then your name is mud

If you don't you're a social dud

'Cause ev'rybody's learnin' how to do the Big Apple (The Big Apple )

And it isn't very hard to do the Big Apple (The Big Apple )

Ten can do it just as well as two the Big Apple (The Big Apple )

Ev'rybody's learnin' how to do that brand new Apple dance

They say an apple a day will keep the doctor away

Hey-hey it's easy to dance your cares away

Ev'rybody's learnin' how to do the Big Apple (The Big Apple )

Come on learn to do that Apple dance

First you gather round then you cover ground

To a bit of this a bit of that and then

Do a Fred Astaire and a air

Truck around and then you start right in again

You must do anything that you know

The most important thing is just to let yourself go

(Instrumental Break)

DORSEY: Say Edythe what's that apple you're talkin' about

WRIGHT: It's a new dance they're all ravin' about

You truck on down and Suzie Q

Then shag a bit and some posin' too

A Lindy hop you get the lot

Put 'em all together and what've you got

The Big Apple (The Big Apple )

The Big Apple (The Big Apple)

(Well my my yes yes my my )
