The Madison Songtext
von Chubby Checker

Hey, everybody
Gather ′round, it's Madison time
Gimme a big strong line
Make it look real fine

Gonna Madison now
Baby, if you don′t know how
Listen to my call
Get you on the ball

Madison time

Come on, baby
Like two-up, two-back
Boss turn, Birdland twice
Burst that bird, step back over
Rock it back into the Madison
When I say "Hit it"
Like a-rah, that's it, hit it
Two-up, two-back
Boss turn, lookin' good

Birdland twice, one more time


Burst that bird, step back over
Rock it back into the Madison

Lookin′ good

For tonight we′ll swing
This cat's a Madison king
The line is nice and strong
Can′t catch a single cat wrong
Well, if you dig my call
Then you're on the ball

Madison time

One more time
Like two-up, two-back


Into the end, erase
Get me an eye, dot it
Rock it back into the Madison
When I say "Hit it"
Like a-hit that thing, hit it
Two-up, two-back
Into the end, swing a song
Erase
Get me an eye, dot it
Rock it back into the Madison

Ah, you′re lookin' good
Whew
You′re in the Madison groove
Makes you really wanna move
The kids from eight to eighty-three
Just as easy as can be
It's a relaxing dance
That you really planned
The Madison, the Madison, the Madison
The Madison, the Madison, the Madison

Ah, forget it, baby, just rock
Whew, the Madison
The Madison
