Baltimore Buzz 1921

There have been
a thousand raggy draggy dances
that are danced in ev'ry hall,
and there have been
a thousand raggy draggy prances
that are pranced at ev'ry ball
but the bestest one that "wuzz"
is called the Baltimore Buzz.

First you take your babe
and gently hold her,
then you lay your head
upon her shoulder,
next you walk
just like your legs are breaking,
do a fango like a tango
then you start the shimmie shaking.
Then you do a raggy draggy motion
just like any ship upon the ocean,
slide, and then you hesitate,
glide, oh honey
ain't it great!
You just go simply in a trance
with that Baltimore Buzzing Dance.
