Lyrics
Chorus
First you slide and then you glide
Then shimmie for a while
To the left then to the right
“Lame Duck” “Get over Sal”
Watch your step then Pirouette
Fox Trot, then squeeze your pal
Over you comes stealing such a funny feeling
‘Till you feel your senses reeling
Tantalizing, hypnotizng, mesmerizing strain
I can’t get enough of it, please play it o’er again
I could dance forever to this refrain
To that 12th Street, oh you 12th Street Rag
Performance
