Charleston (1923)

The original of all Charlestons, first introduced in “Runnin’ Wild.“ words by Cecil Mack music by Jimmy Johnson published by Harms Inc., New York Verse: “Carolina, Carolina, at last They’ve got you on the map With a new tune, funny blue tune With a peculiar snap“ You may not be able to buck or wing Foxtrot, two-step, or even sing If you ain’t got religion in your feet You can do this prance and do it neat Refrain: Charleston! Charleston! made in Carolina Some dance, some prance, I’ll say There’s nothing finer than the Charleston, Charleston, Lord how you can shuffle Every step you do, leads to something new Man, I’m telling you, it’s a lapazoo Buck dance, wing dance, will be a back number But the Charleston, the new Charleston That dance is surely a comer Some time you’ll dance it one time The dance called the Charleston Made in South Caroline” ---------------------------------------------- midi notes input by Fred Feild piano according to the sheet music sung by sheet music singer, Fred Feild Website: Song videos: YouTube sheet music singer Volunteer: screamnj@ Donate: Tell your friends!
