I'm Crazy 'Bout The Turkey Trot 1911

Down in Perkins barnyard
ev'ry Saturday night
Oh, what a sight,
Moon shining bright,
All the Reubens get together
filled with delight,
And they dance and sway,
While the fiddles play,
Look at Sallie Simpkins
over there with her beau,
He's not so slow,
Just see them go.
All the folks go crazy
when that prance they try,
They could dance till they die,
You'd get shot on the spot
If you stopped that Turkey Trot.

Gobble, gobble,
while the music's playing.
Hobble, wobble,
Let you feet go swaying,
Babe this sure is going some,
I just feel like crowing "Hon"
Slower, faster,
not the way you useter,
you're a chicken,
I'm a great big rooster
Cackle, Cackle,
Crackle, Crackle,
Sigh with me and try with me
To crack your wings
and fly with me,
Great Scott!
Tell you what
I'm crazy 'bout the Turkey Trot.

Gobble, gobble,
while the music's playing.
Hobble, wobble,
Let you feet go swaying,
Babe this sure is going some,
I just feel like crowing "Hon"
Slower, faster,
not the way you useter,
you're a chicken,
I'm a great big rooster
Cackle, Cackle,
Crackle, Crackle,
Sigh with me and try with me
To crack your wings
and fly with me,
Great Scott!
Tell you what
I'm crazy 'bout the Turkey Trot.

When the dance is over
and the folks say Goodbye
from roosts on high,
Chickens then fly,
Right upon the barnyard floor
those dances they try
They forget to lay
While they bombershay.
See that Bantam rooster
with a hen by his side,
His happy bride
just see them glide.
They forget that they
will soon be in the stew,
when those prances they do,
How they cling,
How they swing:
While they do the chicken wing:

Gobble, gobble,
while the music's playing.
Hobble, wobble,
Let you feet go swaying,
Babe this sure is going some,
I just feel like crowing "Hon"
Slower, faster,
not the way you useter,
you're a chicken,
I'm a great big rooster
Cackle, Cackle,
Crackle, Crackle,
Sigh with me and try with me
To crack your wings
and fly with me,
Great Scott!
Tell you what
I'm crazy 'bout the Turkey Trot.

Gobble, gobble,
while the music's playing.
Hobble, wobble,
Let you feet go swaying,
Babe this sure is going some,
I just feel like crowing "Hon"
Slower, faster,
not the way you useter,
you're a chicken,
I'm a great big rooster
Cackle, Cackle,
Crackle, Crackle,
Sigh with me and try with me
To crack your wings
and fly with me,
Great Scott!
Tell you what
I'm crazy 'bout the Turkey Trot.
