LYRICS

From the Broadway Musical "The Girl From Utah" (1914)
(Lyrics: James Henry Burris / Music: Chris Smith)



First you put your two knees close up tight
You sway 'em to the left and then you sway 'em to the right
You step around the floor kind of nice and light
And then you swing around swing around with all your might

Spread your lovin' arms away out into space
You do the Eagle Rock with style and grace
You put your lip like out , you bringing it back
And that's what they call "Ballin' the Jack"

First you put your two knees close up tight
You sway 'em to the left and then you sway 'em to the right
You step around the floor kind of nice and light
And then you twist around and twist around with all of your might

Spread your lovin' arms away out into space
You do the Eagle Rock with style and grace
You put your lip like out , you bring'em it back
And that's what they call "Ballin' the Jack"

First you put your two knees close up tight
You sway 'em to the left and then you sway 'em to the right
You step around the floor kind of nice and light
And then you twist around twist around with all your might

Stretch your lovin' arms and we are into space
You do the Eagle Rock with style and grace
You put your lip like out , you bring'em it back
And that's what they call "Ballin' the Jack"
