 Ev'ry step you do leads to something new,
 C#7                  E7
 Man I'm telling you, it's a lapazoo,
 
 Buck dance, wing dance, will be a back number,
 But the Charleston, the new Charleston, that dance is surely a comer,

["Dance sensation that best typified the flamingly youthful spirit of the 1920's was the high-kicking Charleston, which also happened to be the name of a song. Introduced in the 1923 all-Negro revue Runnin' Wild, the dance very soon replaced the shimmy as the favorite gyrational exercise in ballrooms across the nation" -- Reader's Digest Family Songbook (1969)]
