The Washington Waddle 1911

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 21 Jun 2005

My sweetie, come with me
to Washington, D.C.
That's where they've got
the only ragtime novelty;
I'll show you how it's done,
for lesson number one,
just waddle all around until you weigh a ton.
Get the tune in your noddle,
that's the Washington Waddle,
let your feet have lots of fun.

Waddle along, just waddle along,
from side to side my honey
you can't go wrong,
get in your stride
now right from the start
waddle your way to my heart,
Let's waddle
your feet are free
keep a rocking with glee,
like a ragtime ship upon a ragtime sea.
Waddle waddle
come on and toddle,
do the Washington Waddle with me.

Ragtime is on the wane,
but when I hear that strain,
My heart goes waddling up
in a rag aeroplane,
let's go a waddling down
to see old Parson Brown,
I'd like to see you waddle
in a wedding gown,
while the orchestra's tuning
come rag time honeymooning
and we'll waddle out of town.

Waddle along, just waddle along,
from side to side my honey
you can't go wrong,
get in your stride
now right from the start
waddle your way to my heart,
Let's waddle
your feet are free
keep a rocking with glee,
like a ragtime ship upon a ragtime sea.
Waddle waddle
come on and toddle,
do the Washington Waddle with me.
