Ballin' the Jack
(Words by Jim Burris; Music by Chris Smith)
Folks in Georgia's 'bout to go insane
Since that new dance down in Georgia came
I'm the only person who's to blame
I'm the party introduced it there
So, give me credit to know a thing or two
Give me credit for springing something new
I will show this little dance to you
When I do you'll say that it's a bear.
cho: First you put your two knees close up tight
Then you sway 'em to the left
Then you sway 'em to the right
Step around the floor kind of nice and light
Then you twis(t) around and twis(t) around with all your might
Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space
Then you do the eagle rock with style and grace
Swing your foot way 'round then bring it back
Now that's what I call Ballin' The Jack.
It's being done in all the cabarets
All society now has got the craze
It's the best dance done in modern days
That is why I rave about it so
Play some good "rag" that will make you prance
Old folks, young folks all try to do the dance
Join right in now while you got the chance
Once again the steps to you I'll show.
Featured in the movie: THAT'S MY BOY! with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
