Louis Jordan - Saint Vitus Dance lyrics

Miss ..... letter was hailed in court, because she did a shake She asked the judge to be a sport, and give her just one break He said I'm not George Washington, but I can't tell a lie When you see me making motions, here's the reason why When my shoulders begin to shake, like a boat out on the lake And I wiggle just like a snake, It's just a Saint Vitus dance Everybody that's in this town, knows I'm poor and I'll run 'em all run down Honest, I ain't just messing around, it's just a Saint Vitus dance When it comes to stealing, I just lose control When I get that feeling, My eyes begins to roll Lots of folks I see each day, think I lead a life so gay The reason I shake this way, it's just a Saint Vitus dance When it comes to stealing, I just lose control When I get that feeling, My eyes begins to roll Lots of folks I see each day, think I lead a life so gay The reason I shake this way, it's just a Saint Vitus dance
