Lyrics
[Verse]
Caroline, Caroline, at last they've got you on the map
With a new tune, a funny blue tune, with a peculiar snap!
You may not be able to buck and wing
Fox-trot, two-step, or even swing
If you ain't got rhythm in your feet
You can do this prance and do it neat
[Chorus]
Charleston! Charleston! Made in Carolina
Some dance, some prance, I'll say, there's nothing finer
Than the Charleston, Charleston. Lord, how you can shuffle
Ev'ry step you do leads to something new
Man, I'm telling you it's a lapazoo
[Bridge]
Buck dance, wing dance, will be a back number
But the Charleston, the new Charleston, that dance is surely a comer
Sometime you'll dance it one time
The dance called the Charleston
Made in South Caroline
[Chorus]
Charleston! Charleston! Made in Carolina
Some dance, some prance, I'll say, there's nothing finer
Than the Charleston, Charleston. Lord, how you can shuffle
Ev'ry step you do leads to something new
Man, I'm telling you it's a lapazoo
[Bridge]
Buck dance, wing dance, will be a back number
But the Charleston, the new Charleston, that dance is surely a comer
Sometime you'll dance it one time
The dance called the Charleston
Made in South Caroline!
[Verse]
Charleston! Charleston! Feel the rhythm rising
Twirl and spin, let the dance begin, it's so mesmerizing
Step and sway, night and day, can't stop the groove
Dance in line, feel so fine, let your body move
[Refrain]
Charleston! Charleston! Keep the beat, don't falter
Round and round, feel the sound, it's an endless altar
Step and sway, night and day, can't stop the groove
Dance in line, feel so fine, let your body move
[Refrain]
Charleston! Charleston! Keep the beat, don't falter
Round and round, feel the sound, it's an endless altar
Step and sway, night and day, can't stop the groove
Dance in line, feel so fine, let your body move
