Jim Dixon Songs about 'That Thing' (56* d) Lyr Add: SHE'S DANGEROUS WITH THAT THING 17 Nov 17


SHE'S DANGEROUS WITH THAT THING
As recorded by "Jimmy Jordan" (Lonnie Johnson), 1932.

Come on, people, just in time!
Buy your tickets and get in line.
This gal's goin' to move that thing.
Oh, man, how she can move that thing!
She's got me goin' goofy, about to go insane.

Police 'rested gal for shakin' in a dancin' hall.
She moved that thing for the judge and they had a ball.
You know she can move that thing.
Ah, man, she can move that thing.
Even the judges go nuts 'bout her movin' that thing.

Boy, she can move it easy; she can move it neat.
She move it so she give me thrill down in my feet.
You know she can move that thing.
Oh, man, she can move that thing.
If she ever push me, I'll make my home back in old St. James.

Now I taken this gal to church to learn her how to pray.
She start to movin' that thing, the preacher throwed his bible away.
Says: "Gal, move that thing.
Yes, come on, gal, let's move this thing."
Says: "My back was hurtin' but you done made me lose my pain."

Now, I taken this gal down in jungle land.
She put that thing on that medicine man.
You know she can move that thing.
Oh, man, she can move that thing.
Now she's leadin' ev'ry tribe down in Zulu land.

Now she made me pawn the clothes and the shoes off my feet,
The hat off my head and the bed where I sleep.
You know she can move that thing.
Oh, man, I'm nuts by her movin' that thing;
And if my gal ever quits me, I'll kill her and make my home in old St. James.
