The Charleston Songtext
von Chubby Checker

Papa did it, you can do it, too
Papa did 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
Other steppin' feet to somethin' new
I′m tellin′ you, it's a lump of soup

Buck dance, wing dance
You′ll be backin' after
But Charleston, ooh, Charleston
That dance sure is a comfort
Sometimes you′re dancin' it one time
It′s called a Charleston, made in Carolina, oh


Well, 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
Other steppin′ feet to somethin' new
Girl, I′m tellin' you, it′s a lump of soup

Buck dance, wing dance
You'll be backin′ after
But Charleston, ooh, Charleston
That dance sure is a comfort
Sometimes you're dancin' it one time
It′s called a Charleston, made in Carolina, let′s go

Sometimes you're dancin′ it one time
It's called a Charleston, made in Carolina
Let me hear it
That′s Charleston
Twenty-three skidoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
