Song lyrics

Old New Orleans is a great big old southern town, where hospitality you will surely find
The population there is very, very fair with ev'rything they do
White folks do it too, they have a dance surely it's something rare there

Glide, slide, prance, dance, hop, stop
Take it easy honey!
Hmm
I can never git tired of dancin' those hop scop blues

Once more you glide, slide, prance, dance
The hop scop blues will make you do a lovely shake
They'll make you feel so grand when you join hand in hand
I'll never git tired of dancin' those hop scop blues

Once more you glide, slide, prance, I said dance, oh, hop, now stop
Take it easy honey!
Oh
I can never git tired of dancin' those hop scop blues

Look out now!
You glide, slide, I said prance, dance
Hop scop blues will make you do a lovely shake
They'll make you feel so grand when you join hand in hand
I'll never git tired of dancin' those hop scop blues
