WALK WITH A WIGGLE
(Meacham / Dunham)

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with Vic Schoen 7 his Orchestra
March 10th 1950 Los Angeles


You walk with a wiggle
And you talk with a wiggle
And your jeans are a-jigglin' the door.
Well that's the way it really oughta be,
But you can see I haven't got a quarter!

I walk with a wobble
And I talk with a wobble
And a jinx is a hobble in my luck.
I guess I'll have to try to touch
The feathers of a lucky duck!

I lost my guy to another gal,
I lost my money at the track.
I hocked my coat just the other day,
And I know I'll never get it back!

Oh Lady Luck can get no meanier,
And the days can get no leanier.
Got to go where the grass is greenier,
That's where I want to be!

Then I'll walk with a wiggle
And I'll talk with a giggle
And my jeans will be jigglin' the door.
And that's the way it ought to be,
Your fella really oughta have a quarter!

I'll lose every wobble
And I'll lose every hobble
Of the guy who's a-hobblin' my luck.
And that's the way you'll know I touched
The feather of a lucky duck!

I lost my guy to another gal,
and I lost my money at the track.
I hocked my coat just the other day,
And I know I'll never get it back!

Oh Lady Luck can get no meanier,
And the days can get no leanier.
Got to go where the grass is greenier,
That's where I want to be!

Then I'll walk with a wiggle
And I'll talk with a giggle
And my jeans will be jigglin' the door.
And that's the way it ought to be,
Your fella really oughta have a quarter!

I'll lose every wobble
And I'll lose every hobble
Of the guy who's a-hobblin' my luck.
And that's the way you'll know I touched
The feather of a lucky duck!
And that's the day you'll know I touched
The feather of a lucky duck!
