"Ballin' The Jack" lyrics
(originally by Jelly Roll Morton)
Well-a, well-a, well-a
First, you put your two knees close up tight
Then you sway 'em to the left, then you sway 'em to the right
Step around the floor kind-a nice and light
Then you twist around and twist around with all your might
Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space
Then you do the Eagle Rock with-a style and grace
Swing your foot way 'round then bring it back
Now, that's what I call "Ballin' the Jack"
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
(First, you put your two knees close up tight) That's right
(Sway 'em to the left, sway 'em to the right) You're lookin' good
(Step around the floor kind of nice and light) Yeah
You twist around and twist around with all your might, yeah, yeah
(Stretch your lovin' arms way out in space)
(Do the Eagle Rock with-a style and grace)
Yes, swing your foot way 'round then bring it back
Come on baby, let's ball that jack, ow
Well-a, well-a, well-a
First, you put your two knees close up tight
Then you tee to the left, you haw to the right
Step around the floor kind-a nice and light
Then you twist around and twist around with all your might
Stretch your lovin' arms way out in space
Then you do the Eagle Rock with-a style and grace
Swing your foot way 'round then bring it back
Now, that's what I call "Ballin' the Jack"
A-come on, baby, let's ball that jack, ow
Come on, come on, come on, ballin' that jack
Move around there, come on
All you gotta do is twist around and twist around and twist around
I'll tell ya, you're lookin' good, come on
Come on, ball the jack
Put your left foot out, and put your right foot back, come on
First, you put your two knees close up tight
Then you sway 'em to the left, then you sway 'em to the right
Step around the floor kind-a nice and light
Then you twist around and twist around with all your might
Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space
Then you do the Eagle Rock with-a style and grace
Swing your foot way 'round then bring it back
Now, that's what I call "Ballin' the Jack"
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
(First, you put your two knees close up tight) That's right
(Sway 'em to the left, sway 'em to the right) You're lookin' good
(Step around the floor kind of nice and light) Yeah
You twist around and twist around with all your might, yeah, yeah
(Stretch your lovin' arms way out in space)

Yes, swing your foot way 'round then bring it back
Come on baby, let's ball that jack, ow
Well-a, well-a, well-a
First, you put your two knees close up tight
Then you tee to the left, you haw to the right
Step around the floor kind-a nice and light
Then you twist around and twist around with all your might
Stretch your lovin' arms way out in space
Then you do the Eagle Rock with-a style and grace
Swing your foot way 'round then bring it back
Now, that's what I call "Ballin' the Jack"
A-come on, baby, let's ball that jack, ow
Come on, come on, come on, ballin' that jack
Move around there, come on
All you gotta do is twist around and twist around and twist around
I'll tell ya, you're lookin' good, come on
Come on, ball the jack
Put your left foot out, and put your right foot back, come on
