The Madison Songtext
von Chubby Checker

Hey, everybody

Gather ′round, it's Madison time
Gimme a big strong line
Make it look real fine
Goin′ the Madison now
Baby, if you don't know how
Listen to my call and get you on the ball
Madison time


Come on, baby
Like two up, two back
Boss turn, Birdland twice
Burst that bird, step back, oh
Rock it back into the Madison when I say, "Hit it"
Like a-ah, like to hit it
Two up, two back
Boss turn, lookin' good
Birdland twice, one more time
Burst that bird, step back, oh
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 air, erase it
Gimme an eye, daddy
Rock it back into the Madison when I say, "Hit it"
Like a-hit that thing, hit it
Two up, two back
Into the air, swing it some
Erase it, gimme an eye, daddy
Rock it back into the Madison
Ah, you′re lookin' good
Whoo


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 plan
The Madison, the Madison, the Madison
The Madison, the Madison, the Madison

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