The Charleston

Chubby Checker

Mama, hit it
Do like I do
Papa, hit it
You can do it, too

Hey, Charleston, Charleston
Made in Carolina
Some dance, some prance
I'll say, there's nothin' finer

Than-a Charleston, Charleston
Come on and a-shuffle
I know something that leads to something new
I'm tellin' you it's a lapazoo

Buck dance, wing dance
Will bring back a number
But Charleston, new Charleston
That dance's surely a comer

Sometimes you dancin' it one time
It's called the Charleston made in Caroline, oh

Whoa, Charleston, Charleston
Made in Carolina
Some dance, some prance
I'll say, there's nothin' finer

Than-a Charleston, Charleston
Come on and a-shuffle
I know something that leads to something new
Girl, I'm tellin' you it's a lapazoo

Buck dance, wing dance
Will bring back a number
But Charleston, new Charleston
That dance's really a comer

Sometimes you dancin' it one time
It's called the Charleston, made in Caroline, let's go
Sometimes you dancin' it one time
It's called the Charleston, made in Caroline, lemme hear it

That's Charleston
Twenty-three skidoo
Yoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
