Lyr Req: Need title and artist

I'm trying to identify a song that has the following lyrics...this is probably the chorus:

"Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough And the boys and the girls in a do-si-do You ain't seen nothin' until you see My wiggle worm wiggle from Tennessee"

It was an uptempo number done by a male vocalist, circa 1956.

Anybody know what this is...title and artist?

Thanks Cookie

Is this it? I remember this from that era. I don't recall the words you posted but they would fit the tune I know.

I'm a bow-legged chicken, I'm a knock-need hen
Haven't been so happy since I don't know when
I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doin' the Tennessee Wig-Walk.

CHORUS
Put your toes together, knees apart
Bend your back, get ready to start
Clap your elbows just for luck
Then you wiggle and you waddle like a baby duck

I used to sing it to my twins when they were tiny, but that was ten years ago.

Hi,

Seems to be a common Barn Dance call, here's one reference

Barn Dance Figure

Charlie Daniels did a song with it in the chorus.

The Devil went down to Georgia

And here is some info on early 20th century barn dances

hillbilly music

Typed the first line into google - might be other hits - nothing specific about you actual verse, though.

Cheers Rana

I don't know what I'm typing wrong - can't get the links to work, so here's copying and pasting!

Now I hope that works!
