Paroles The new york glide Ethel Waters

The new york glide

Everybody's going crazy
About the different dances of the day;
Everybody in this whole entire world
Is trying to learn the dance and sway;
Here's one dance you ought to learn,
It's something simply grand;
Now folks, it is so simple
Anyone can understand.
And if you'll take a chance,
I'll show you how to do this dance:

Just grab your partner
'Round the waist,
Hook her lightly
In her place,
Just lay back and do the shimaree,
Buzz up to your baby like a bumblebee.
Then lay back and do that eagle rock;
Please, professor, don't you ever stop,
Swing your partner, then you slide;
That's the New York Glide!

You can all have your tickle toe,
I mean, that's a dance you can do,
But if you should once see this dance,
I know that you would be amused;
Anywhere you hear this tune,
It sneaks up on your mind;
And if you love good music,
Why, you're going to keep in time;
And when you hear that band,
You'll say this dance is simply grand!
Just grab your partner
'Round the waist,
Pull her lightly
In her place;
Just lay back and do the shimaree;
Buzz up to your baby like a bumblebee.
Then lay back and do that eagle rock;
Please professor, don't you ever stop;
Swing your partner, then you slide;
That's the New York Glide!
