Ballin The Jack Lyrics & Chords By Gene Kelly

From coast to coast
From Canada to Mexico
They're doing a new dance, a tried and a true dance
That will sweep the land
And you'll think it's so grand
You'll have to learn how to do it
So, please don't boo-woo it
'Cause we got this little dance that's gonna rise to fame
It's sure to put 'most any other dance to shame
The Turkey Trot, the Bunny Hug, the Tickley Toe
Will be forgotten when we start to go
Mister Leader, won't you start the syncopation?
And we'll begin our little demonstration
Now...
First you put your two knees close up tight
Then, you sway it to the left and you sway it to the right
Step around the floor kind of nice and light
Then you twist around, you twist around with all of your might
Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space
Then you do the Eagle Walk-a with-a style and grace
Swing your foot way 'round and bring it back
Now that's what I call Ballin' the Jack!
Ballin' the Jack!
