DO THAT THING
Words and music by Sox Wilson
As recorded by Jimmie Gordon and His Vip Vop Band, on Decca 7611 B, 1939.

Come on, gal, and do that thing.
You got your boots on, so do that thing.
Get yourself all up in a bunch,
Stretch a little bit, and do the Georgia hunch,
And do that thing.
Oh, baby, shake that thing.
Get a hump in your back, a sway in your knees,
And take your office(?) as much as you please.
You’re kinda good at it(?), so do it with a bang,
Come on, mama, and do that thing.
I mean, shift that thing.

Come on, gal, and do that thing.
Make your mind up and do that thing.
… way down to the flo’,
Bring yourself up nice and slow,
And shake that thing,
And don’t you break that thing.
Clap yo’ hands from side to side.
Rug-cut a little bit to test the jive.
You’re kinda good at it(?), so let it rain,
So come on, gal, and do that thing.
I mean, do that thing.
