Walkin The Dog 1916

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 21 Oct 2004

Now listen Honey 'bout a new dance craze;
been 'riginated for about ten days.
It's there, it's a Bear
and it's a new step, a funny twostep,
in every cabaret and dancing hall,
you see them doing it,
yea, one and all,
if you'll just give me a chance,
I'll introduce this dance.

Get 'way back, and snap your fingers,
get over Sally, one and all,
grab your gal, and don't you linger
do that slow drag 'round the hall.
Do that step, the Texas Tommy drop.
like you're sitting on a log,
rise slow, that will show,
the dance called Walkin' the Dog.

Get 'way back, and snap your fingers,
get over Sally, one and all,
grab your gal, and don't you linger
do that slow drag 'round the hall.
Do that step, the Texas Tommy drop.
like you're sitting on a log,
rise slow, that will show,
the dance called Walkin' the Dog.

You were all crazy 'bout the Bunny Hug
'most everybody was a Tango Bug.
But now, and somehow,
the funny Dogwalk,
is all the town talk,
in every private home this dance is known,
I called a friend of mine up
on the 'phone,
hearing on the graphophone;
This doggone raggy bone.

Get 'way back, and snap your fingers,
get over Sally, one and all,
grab your gal, and don't you linger
do that slow drag 'round the hall.
Do that step, the Texas Tommy drop.
like you're sitting on a log,
rise slow, that will show,
the dance called Walkin' the Dog.

Get 'way back, and snap your fingers,
get over Sally, one and all,
grab your gal, and don't you linger
do that slow drag 'round the hall.
Do that step, the Texas Tommy drop.
like you're sitting on a log,
rise slow, that will show,
the dance called Walkin' the Dog.
