SHUFFLE YOUR FEET / BANDANNA BABIES
From the Broadway Show "Blackbirds Of 1928"
(Dorothy Fields / Jimmy McHugh)

Duke Ellington & His Orch. ("Bandanna Babies") - 1928
Don Redman & His Orch. (vocal: Harry & Donald Mills) - 1933


Shuffle your feet and just stroll along
Oh, roll along your way
Shuffle that worried soul along
And stroll along your way

Make this a good world to live in
Laugh at your troubles and give in
Oh, shuffle your little feet, and just stroll along
Oh, roll along your way

Bandanna babies, struttin' around the town
Bandanna babies, doin' the new lowdown

Hello, stranger, you're in danger
Of losing all your cares
So attractive, very active
Go along, you blues, we're givin' you air

Their black eyes flashin'
Tying you up in knots
There's lots of cash in
Shakin' their polka-dots

You're gonna get an eyeful, you'll die full of joy and clown
Bandanna babies, doin' the new lowdown!
