you've got some ways that must be checked
And you never can detect
the slightest signs of intellect
You're mad on chances,
think of the chances you neg lect
You nev er seem inclined
to use your mind,
and it's quite plain to see
that I'm the brains of the fam ily.
Take a lesson from me.
I'd rather Charleston. Charleston.
Think of what you might be.
I'd rather Charleston. Charleston.
I'm disappointed in
you and your ways.
I'm double -jointed,
there's no sensation like synchronation
Will you let me know why?
I'd rather Charleston Charleston?
That's the sort of thing
I would never do
So, just leave it behind
an d give your mind to something new
I'd rather Charleston
Oh Charleston with you
Your way of living soon
will be giving me a pain
You just repeat that same refrain
You use your feet and not
your brain
Something's got you,
I don't know what you hope to gain
And after all I've done,
it's not much fun
To have a sister who's got her brain
in her dancing shoes
So take a lesson from me
I'd rather Charleston Charleston?
When you're older you'll see
I'd rather Charleston Charleston?
A great improvement I
looked for in you
I like this movement
It makes you plastic, just like plastic
Say, don't you ever keep cool?
I'd rather Charleston
Oh, no, that's the sort
of thing silly people do.
Say, haven't you read what Lincoln
said in sixty -two?
Yeah! Well, what'd he say?
I'd rather chauffeur, chauffeur,
chauffeur with you.
Not me.
Bye for now.
