'Tain't No Sin 1929

Dancing may do this and that
and help you take off tons of fat
but I'm no friend of dancing
when it's hot!
So if you are a dancing fool
who loves to dance but can't keep cool
bear in mind the idea that I've got.

When it gets too hot for comfort
and you can't get ice cream cones,
'Tain't no sin
to take off your skin
and dance around in your bones.
When the lazy syncopation
of the music softly moans
'Tain't no sin
to take off your skin and
dance around in your bones.
The Polar Bears aren't green
up in Greenland,
They've got the right idea,
They think it's great to refrigerate
while we all cremate down here.
Just be like those Bamboo Babies
in the South Sea tropic zones,
'Tain't no sin
to take off your skin and
dance around in your bones.

When you're calling up your sweetie
in the Hot House Telephones
'Tain't no sin
to take off your skin
and dance around in your bones.
When you're on a crowded dance floor
near those Red Hot saxophones,
'Tain't no sin
to take off your skin,
and dance around in your bones.
Just take a look at the girls
while they're dancing
notice the way they're dressed,
wear silken clothes
without any hose
and nobody knows the rest.
If a gal wears xray dresses
and shows ev'rything she owns,
'Tain't no sin
to take off your skin and
dance around in your bones.
