Tape Five - Geraldines Routine

Verse 1

There was a cat* from Brooklyn, by the name of Romeo
His folks they came from Italy, many years ago
One night he met young Geraldine, a dame from outta town
When Geraldine was dancing she would bring the ballroom down

Chorus

Wave those palms in the air
Spin around like Fred Astair
Slip me five and we can jive
That’s Geraldines routine

Let those puppies off the ground
Swing those hips, shake them down
It’s rag its razz its snazzy jazz
It’s Geraldines routine

Verse 2

Her mama was a stripper, so was Geraldine
She learned a stripper Mardi Gras, way down in New Orleans.
Romeo was whacky, he was dizzy for this dame
He learned a dance and got the chance to be Geraldines new flame.

Chorus

Wave those palms in the air
Spin around like Fred Astair
Slip me five and we can jive
That’s Geraldines routine

Let those puppies off the ground
Swing those hips, shake them down
It’s rag its razz its snazzy jazz
It’s Geraldines routine

Bridge
Okay, here she comes ladies and gentlemen, here comes Geraldine
Look out guys
Shake that thing ha ha

Chorus

Wave those palms in the air
Spin around like Fred Astair
Slip me five and we can jive
That’s Geraldines routine

Let those puppies off the ground
Swing those hips, shake them down
It’s rag its razz its snazzy jazz
It’s Geraldines routine
