Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I've seen for days that you've got The ways that must be checked In you I never can detect The slightest signs of intellect You're mad on dances, think of the chances you neglect You never seem inclined to use your mind And it's quite plain to see That I'm the brains of the family Take a lesson from me I'd rather Charleston Charleston? Think of what you might be I'd rather Charleston Charleston? I'm disappointed in you and your ways I'm double-jointed There's no sensation like syncopation Will you let me know why I'd rather Charleston Charleston? That's the sort of thing I would never do So, just leave it behind and give your mind to something new I'd rather Charleston Oh no Charleston, Charleston with you Your way of living soon will soon be giving me a pain You just repeat that same refrain You use your feet and not your brain Something has got you I don't know what you hope to gain And after all I've done It's not much fun to have to have a sister who's Got her brain in her dancing shoes So, take a lesson from me I'd rather Charleston Charleston? When you're older you'll see I'd rather Charleston Charleston? The great improvements I looked for in you I like improvements It makes you plastic, just like elastic Say, don't you ever keep cool I'd rather Charleston Oh no, that's the sort of thing silly people do Hey, haven't you read what Lincoln said in sixty-two Yeah! Well, what'd he say? I'd rather Charleston Oh no Charleston, Charleston with you Not me
