Doin The Suzie-q Lyrics

Now, come gather 'round us, folks, 

Let us tell you 'bout this swing, 

Let us tell you 'bout the dance was invented just for you! 



Now, you swing over here, 

Now, you swing over there, 

For you
swing on out and you do the Suzie-Q! 



Oh, you dance in! 

Yes, you're prancin'! 

When you hear the music play, that's your cue!




Yes, you're truckin'! 

Doin' the shim-sham, 

Then you
swing on out and you're doin' the Suzie-Q! 



Now, stop unless you do
forget, 

You ain't seen nothin' yet, 

Until you see this dance
that's new! 



Now, you truck over here, you swing over there, 

You tip just like you're walkin' on air, 

Then you're doin' the
Suzie-Q! 



Now, hot step new that you will give 'em, 

Good
old pep and low-down rhythm! 



Now, come and give yourself a treat,


Watch these babies shake their feet, 

What they're doin'? They're
doin' the Suzie-Q!
