Lyrics St Vitus Dance - Louis Jordan

Miss Audrey Leta was hailed in court
Because she did a shake
She asked the judge to be a sport
And give her just one break

She 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 the St. Vitus dance

Everybody that's in this town
Knows I'm poor and I'm all run down
Honest I ain't just messin' round
It's just the St. Vitus dance

When it comes to stealin'
I just lose control
When I get that feelin'
My eyes begins to roll

Lots of folks I see each day
Think I lead a life so gay
The reason why I shake this way
It's just the St. Vitus dance

When it comes to stealin'
I just lose control
When I get that feelin'
My eyes begin to roll

Lots of folks I see each day
Think I lead a life so gay
The reason why I shake this way
It's just the St. Vitus dance
