(I AIN'T HEP TO THAT STEP BUT I'LL) DIG IT
From the film "Second Chorus" (1940)
(Hal Bourne / Johnny Mercer)

Fred Astaire (Film Soundtrack) - 1940
Les Brown & His Orch. (vocal Doris Day)


(Dig it, dig it, dig that Doris on the vocal chorus)

I never could do the Conga
Could never get through the Conga
But if you say "do the Conga"
I ain't hep to that step, but I'll dig it

I never could see Mazurka
They're poison to me, Mazurkas
But if it's to be Mazurka
I ain't hep to that step, but I'll dig it

When they invented the Charleston
I was a total flop
But, say, if you want a Charleston
I'll never stop, I'll dance till I drop

I never could dig the Polka
The corniest jig, the Polka
But if you say dig the Polka
I ain't hep to that step, but I'll dig it

(Orchestral Interlude)

I ain't hep, but I'll dig it

recording by Bill Huntley - January 2005)
