Chasin' The Blues 1920

I just heard of a new dance,
right from Honky Tonk Town,
It's a bird of a blue dance
that is gaining renown.
If you're dancing mad,
take your pen and pad
And just copy this down.

Bring your baby close up to your side,
Fall into a slow and easy stride,
Swing right along with the melody
Hopstop then you knock your knee
Climb right on your toes and do it neat,
Shuffle to the right
and then repeat
and if you want to make it a hit
Shake your shoulders a bit
do it just as often as you choose
that's the dance called
Chasin' The Blues.

Bring your baby close up to your side,
Fall into a slow and easy stride,
Swing right along with the melody
Hopstop then you knock your knee
Climb right on your toes and do it neat,
Shuffle to the right
and then repeat
and if you want to make it a hit
Shake your shoulders a bit
do it just as often as you choose
that's the dance called
Chasin' The Blues.

Honky Tonky Town's crazy
'bout this new fangled step,
once the natives were lazy
now they're chock full of pep,
If you want me to
teach that dance to you
just let me put you hep.

Bring your baby close up to your side,
Fall into a slow and easy stride,
Swing right along with the melody
Hopstop then you knock your knee
Climb right on your toes and do it neat,
Shuffle to the right
and then repeat
and if you want to make it a hit
Shake your shoulders a bit
do it just as often as you choose
that's the dance called
Chasin' The Blues.
