Happy to add to the silliness. The New Old- Fashioned Party Dance Boomps-a-daisy 1. In the naughty nineties Ladies were so gay. In the naughty nineties This is how they'd play. Waltzing as light as a feather And bumping their busties together: Chorus Hands knees and BOOMPS_A_DAISY! I like a bustle that bends. Hands knees and BOOMPS-A-DAISY! What is a BOOMP between friends? Hands knees Oh! Don't be lazy Let's make the party a WOW Now the hands knees and BOOMPS-A-Daisy Turn your partner and bow, Bow-wow. 2. Gentlemen with whiskers Whirl the ladies round, Hoping that each bustle's Fastened safe and sound. Grandma says "Boomping is shocking You might show an inch of your stocking." Chorus as before All in Key of C The music has the Ukelele chords too! When used as a dance, play intro and chorus only. And now the dance 1st Bar Partners stand facing each other, gentlemen facing the wall. On the first beat of the bar they clap each others hands (gents's right hand claps against lady's left and vice versa) as the clap they shout "HANDS!" 2nd Bar In the same position as above, partners slap their own knees on the first beat of the bar shouting "KNEES!" 3rd Bar Turning about 1/4 turn to left the gentleman "bumps" his right hip against the lady's left hip. The lady has turned about 1/4 turn to right, as they "bump" on the first beat of the bar they shout "BOOMPS!" and on the third beat they shout "A" 4th Bar Turning back to the original position, the lady and gentleman bow to each other, shouting "DAI" on the first beat and "SY" on the third beat of the bar. 5th Bar The gentleman steps to the side on the left foot on the first beat of the bar. On the second and third beats he swings his right leg across his left. The lady, facing gentleman, does corresponding movements, stepping to the side with the right foot and swinging left leg. 6th bar The gentleman steps to the side on the right foot on the first beat of the bar. On the second and third beat he swings his left leg across his right. The lady, facing gentleman, does corresponding movements, stepping to the side with the left foot and swinging right leg. 7th and 8th bars Gentlemen commencing forward with left foot in line of dance on the first beat of the 7th bar, dances 6 steps of reverse waltz on his own, finishing facing his partner.
