The Shorty George lyrics

Just heard of the Shorty George

Got word of the Shorty George

Seems that it's a kind of jig

Named for someone about so big

He rambles around the town

Preambles around the town

Then stops on a crowded street

And beats his feet till his feet is beat

Watch him go! - and he can -

Like a real- nach'-l man

High Stepper is Shorty George

Black pepper is Shorty George

He dances to pay the rent

And to see that you're solid sent

Hey mister, can you spare a penny?

Lady can you spare a dime?

He makes, I don't know how many

Cause he's dancing all the time.

Popa's dressed up mighty sporty

Momma's snooz-in' in the shade

But while mommas's catching "forty"

Shorty sees the rent is paid

Get hip to the Shorty George

Hop, skip to the Shorty George

Directions are short and sweet

Beat your feet till your feet is beat

So catch-on to Shorty George

And latch onto Shorty George

Good people I'm telling you

Shorty George is the dance to do.
