Baltimore Buzz
There have been a thousand raggy-draggy dances
That are danced in every hall
And there have been a thousand raggy-draggy prances
That are pranced at every ball
But the bestest one that was
Is called the Baltimore Buzz
[Refrain:]
First you take your babe and gently hold her
Then you lay her head upon her shoulder
Next you walk just like your legs are breaking
Do a fango like a tango
Then you star the shimmie to shaking
Then you do a raggy, draggo motion
Just like any ship up on the ocean
Slide, and then you hesitate
Glide, oh honey ain't it great!
You just go simply in a trance
With that Baltimore buzzing dance
