For Me and My Gal movie - Ballin' the Jack lyrics
rate me<br>
JO and HARRY:<br>
From coast to coast, from Canada to Mexico, <br>
they're doing a new dance the tried and true. <br>
Yes, it will sweep the land, and you'll think it's so grand. <br>
You'll have to learn how to do it, so pleasedon't poo poo it. <br>
'Cause we got this little dance, it's gonna rise to fame. <br>
It's sure to put most any other dance to shame. <br>
The Turkey Trot, the Bunny Hug, the Tickly Toe, <br>
will be forgotten when we start to go. Mr. Leader, <br>
won't you start the syncopation, <br>
and we'll begin our little demonstration. <br>
Now, first, you put your two knees close up tight, <br>
then you sway 'em to the left, and you sway 'em to the right. <br>
Step around the floor kinda nice <br>
and light then you twist around and twist around with all of your might.<br>
Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space, <br>
then you do the Eagle Rock with style and grace.<br>
Swing your foot way 'round and bring it back,<br>
now that's what I call Ballin' the Jack<br>
<br>
JO:<br>
Now,Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinkin', <br>
said his wifey dear. <br>
Now that things are peaceful and calm the boys will soon be back on the farm. <br>
Mister Reuben started winkin' and slowly rubbed his chin, <br>
he pulled his chair up close to moher and he asked her with a grin, <br>
"H-h-h-how ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree?" <br>
How ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway? <br>
Jazzin' around and paintin' the town. <br>
How ya gonna keep 'em away from harm?That's the mystery. <br>
They'll never want to see a rake a plow,<br>
and who the heck can parley-vous a cow? <br>
H-h-h-how ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree? <br>
(MEN join)<br>
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree?<br>
How ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway?<br>
Jazzin' around and paintin' the town. <br>
How ya gonna keep 'em away from harm? <br>
That's the mystery.<br>
<br>
JO: <br>
Imagine Reuben when he meets his pa, he'll kiss his cheek and holler,"Oo-la-la!"<br>
ALL: <br>
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen, <br>
after they've seen, after they've seen Paree?<br>
<br>
Where Do We Go From Here?<br>
MEN:<br>
Where do we go from here, boys? <br>
Where do we go from here? <br>
Anywhere from Harlem to be here. <br>
When Pat would spy a pretty girl, he'd whisper in her ear,<br>
"Oh joy! Oh boy! Where do we go from here? <br>
(JO joins in)Where do we go from here, boys? <br>
Where do we go from here? Slip a pill to Kaiser Bill, <br>
and make him she a tear. <br>
And when<br>
<br>
MEN: <br>
we see the enemy we'll (JO joins in) shoot him in the rear.<br>
Oh, joy! Oh, boy! Where do we go from here?<br>
<br>
