Riverboat Shuffle

All you cotton toters,
Mississippi floaters,
Gather all about!
Gather all about!
Got some things to tell ya.
Not a thing to sell ya.
Listen and youll all find out.
What Im about to say
WIll take your breath away,
So, come a little closer,
Just a little closer,
Got a lotta news to shout! Say!
Good people, youre invited tonight
To the Riverboat Shuffle!
Good people, we got rhythm tonight
At the Riverboat Shuffle!
They tell me that slidepipe tooter is grand,
Best in Loosianna;
So bring your freighter, come and alligator that band.
Mister Hawkins on the tenor!
Good people, youll hear Milenberg Joys
In a special orches-stration!
Even Mamma Dinah will be there to strut for the boys
In a room full of noise.
Shell teach you to shuffle it right,
So, bring your baby;
