PRACTICE by FAIRFAX DOWNEY

First Line: MARJORIE MARY GOES / CHARLESTONING MERRILY
Last Line: HOP.
Subject(s): DANCING & DANCERS;

Marjorie Mary goes
Charlestoning merrily,
Wiggle-knee, wiggley, hop.
Whenever I tell her
To stop it, she airily
Sauces, "Try calling a cop."

If she can't get it, she cannot go anywhere,
Not to a party,
No, not to one anywhere....
That's why she @3always@1 goes
Wiggle-knee, wiggley,
Giggley,
Wiggley
Hop.
