Ballin' The Jack
Composer(s): James Henry Burris - Chris Smith
Performer(s): Judy Garland & Gene Kelly
and multiple other artists



From coast to coast
From Canada to Mexico
They're doin' a new dance 
A tried-and-a-true dance 
That will sweep the land 
And you'll think it's so grand 
You'll have to learn how to do it 
So please don't boo woo it 
Coz we've got this little dance 
That's gonna rise to fame 
It's sure to put most any other dance to shame 
The turkey-trot, the bunny-hug, the tickley-toe 
Will be forgotten when we start to go! 
Mr. Leader, won't you start the syncopation? 
And we'll begin our little demonstration... 

Now, first you put your two knees 
Close up tight
Then you sway it to the left 
Then you sway it to the right
Step around the floor kind of nice and light 
Then you twist around and twist around 
With all of your might
Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space 
Then you do the eagle rock with style and grace
Swing your foot way round and bring it back 
Now that's what I call ballin' the jack!
