Johnson Rag

Amos Milburn

Johnson Flood Mississippi 
 Mud Black Bottom I got 'em
 Lindy Hop Chop chop chop 
 Ch-ch-ch Charlotte Russe Turn on the juice

 Hep Hep there goes the Johnson Rag 
 Hoy Hoy there goes the latest shag 
 Ho Ho it really isn't a gag
 Hep Hep there goes the Johnson Rag
 Jump Jump don't let your left foot drag
 Jeep Jeep it's like a game of tag
 Juke Juke it's even good for a stag 
 Jump jump and do the Johnson Rag

 If your feelin' in the groove 
 It sends you out of the world
 Funny how it makes you move
 I don't wanna coax
 But don't be a "Mokes"
 Zig Zig Then add a Zig Zig Zag 
 Zoop Zoop just let your shoulders wag
 Zoom Zoom and now it's right in the bag 
 Get hep And get happy with the Johnson Rag

 Hep Hep There goes the Johnson Rag 
 Hoy Hoy there goes the latest shag 
 Ho Ho it really isn't a gag
 Hep Hep There goes the Johnson Rag
 Jump Jump Don't let your left foot drag
 Jeep Jeep It's like a game of tag
 Juke Juke It's even good for a stag 
 Jump jump And do the Johnson Rag

 If your feelin' in the groove 
 It sends you out of the world
 Funny how it makes you move
 I don't wanna coax
 But don't be a "Mokes"
 Zig Zig then add a Zig Zig Zag 
 Zoop Zoop just let your shoulders wag
 Zoom Zoom and now it's right in the bag
