COME ON COOT AND DO THAT THING
As recorded by Coot Grant and Wesley "Kid" Wilson, with Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra, 1925.

...(?)
Jimmy Walker, mayor of the town.
Now ? world's best dancer in your town.
But I'm the baby that turned that damper down.
Now when I walk into that hall,
You can hear ev'rybody squall.

(What'd they say?)

Come on, Coot, and do that thing.
Put on your boots and you do that thing.
You get yourself all up in a hump,
You do the funny dance just like the old folks hunt.
Honey, do that thing.
Now don't you change.
Now you flap your hands from side to side.
You get 'em way down and then you rise.
Now, if you got an idea, let it ring.
'Cause I can do, I can do, I can do that thing.
Honey, I mean, I can do that thing.

Now, come on, Coot, and you do that thing.
Put on your boots and you do that thing.
And get yourself all up in a hump.
You do this funny dance just like the old folks hunt(?).
Honey, do that thing.
(Now I'm doin' that thing.)
Honey don't you change.
Now you shake your shoulder from side to side.
If you shimmy here, mama, you gonna warble outside.
Now I've got and idea and I'll let it ring,
'Cause I'm a big fat mama and I can do that thing.
I mean, I can do that thing.
