While They Were Dancing Around 1913

Johnny Brown went around
to all the dances in town.
Most ev'ry night or so
little Pearl was his girl
and she could always be found
where ever Johnny used to go.
Any night at all,
at a dancer ball
they were first out in the hall.

Dancing around,
they'll be dancing around,
oh how he'd hold her,
head on his shoulder,
oh how he'd tease
then he'd dip with his knees
he'd trot her to a corner,
and he'd steal a little squeeze,
while they were dancing around,
all around all around.
They were the talk of the town
and when the band was playing
that "Hesitation"
you could hear her saying:
"That's some sensation,"
and the poeple would stay
till the break of the day
while they were dancing around.

Dancing around,
they'll be dancing around,
oh how he'd hold her,
head on his shoulder,
oh how he'd tease
then he'd dip with his knees
he'd trot her to a corner,
and he'd steal a little squeeze,
while they were dancing around,
all around all around.
They were the talk of the town
and when the band was playing
that "Hesitation"
you could hear her saying:
"That's some sensation,"
when he thought no one saw
he would hug here some more,
while they were dancing around.

Girls around in the town
all loved to dance with young Brown.
but they all knew Miss Pearl.
She was there with a stare,
that said: "Go on if you dare."
But you could hardly blame the girl,
On the floor she'd stay,
dancing night and day
just to keep them all away.

Dancing around,
they'll be dancing around,
oh how he'd hold her,
head on his shoulder,
oh how he'd tease
then he'd dip with his knees
he'd trot her to a corner,
and he'd steal a little squeeze,
while they were dancing around,
all around all around.
They were the talk of the town
and when the band was playing
that "Hesitation"
you could hear her saying:
"That's some sensation,"
and the poeple would stay
till the break of the day
while they were dancing around.

Dancing around,
they'll be dancing around,
oh how he'd hold her,
head on his shoulder,
oh how he'd tease
then he'd dip with his knees
he'd trot her to a corner,
and he'd steal a little squeeze,
while they were dancing around,
all around all around.

and when the band was playing

you could hear her saying:
"That's some sensation,"
when he thought no one saw
he would hug here some more,
while they were dancing around.
