Lyr Req: Tennessee Wigwalk

Looking for complete lyrics to the following...

Put your toes together, your knees apart, bend your back, get ready to start. Flap your elbows, just for luck, then you wiggle and you waddle like a baby duck.

Dance with me honey, tap your toes and glide, and we'll always be together side by side. Walk with a wiggle, a giggle, and a squawk, Doin' the Tennessee Wigwalk.

Also. Anyone know the author? the date written?

Here's the only version I ever heard.
TENNESSEE WIGWALK
As recorded by: Bonnie Lou
Writer: Not Listed

I'm a bow-legged chicken, I'm a knock-kneed hen
Never been so happy since I don't know when
I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doin' the Tennessee Wigwalk.

To a tune on a fiddle on a hardwood floor
Tho' I'm broke and I'm weary and my back is sore
I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doin' the Tennessee Wigwalk.

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

(So-2nd) Dance with me honey, tap your toes and glide
And we'll always be together side by side
Walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doin' the Tennessee Wigwalk.

Repeat all above.

TAG:
Walk with a wiggle, wiggle with a walk
And you're doin' the Tennessee Wigwalk
Doin' the Tennessee Wigwalk [fade]
Doin' the Tennessee Wigwalk

Sorry, Joe,
the first two links (in the thread you linked to here), you have helpfully provided both currently link to the DT entry.

I found the 'Lyr Correction' thread linked from the DT entry.

Used to sing this song as a kid and have been looking for the sheet music for a long time. Know where I can get it so I can play it on the piano? Even a zerox copy would do fine. Anyone? Thanks Bobby
