Doin the Suzie-Q by Lil Hardin Armstrong Lyrics
Now, come gather 'round us, folks
Let us tell you 'bout this swing
Let us tell you 'bout the dance was invented just for you!
Now, you swing over here
Now, you swing over there
For you swing on out and you do the Suzie-Q!
Oh, you dance in!
Yes, you're prancin'!
When you hear the music play, that's your cue!
Yes, you're truckin'!
Doin' the shim-sham
Then you swing on out and you're doin' the Suzie-Q!
Now, stop unless you do forget
You ain't seen nothin' yet
Until you see this dance that's new!
Now, you truck over here, you swing over there
You tip just like you're walkin' on air
Then you're doin' the Suzie-Q!
Now, hot step new that you will give 'em
Good old pep and low-down rhythm!
Now, come and give yourself a treat
Watch these babies shake their feet
What they're doin'? They're doin' the Suzie-Q!
Let us tell you 'bout this swing
Let us tell you 'bout the dance was invented just for you!
Now, you swing over here
Now, you swing over there
For you swing on out and you do the Suzie-Q!
Oh, you dance in!
Yes, you're prancin'!
When you hear the music play, that's your cue!
Yes, you're truckin'!
Doin' the shim-sham
Then you swing on out and you're doin' the Suzie-Q!
Now, stop unless you do forget
You ain't seen nothin' yet
Until you see this dance that's new!
Now, you truck over here, you swing over there
You tip just like you're walkin' on air
Then you're doin' the Suzie-Q!
Now, hot step new that you will give 'em
Good old pep and low-down rhythm!
Now, come and give yourself a treat
Watch these babies shake their feet
What they're doin'? They're doin' the Suzie-Q!
