THE LOST CHARLESTON STEP, by FAIRFAX DOWNEY First Line: Have you forgotten that step Last Line: "little boy blues!" Subject(s): Dancing & Dancers | |||
"Have you forgotten that step, Little Bo-Pep? That perfect knockout of a step, Little Bo-Pep?" "Little Boy Blues, what a muss! I've lost it and, gosh, I could cuss!" "I'll say that's poisonous, Little Bo-Pep!" "Don't you remember that step, Little Boy Blues? Only last night you were hep, Little Boy Blues." "Little Bo-Pep, my dogs Knew all its wiggles and jogs." "Now, though, your bean's full of fogs, Little Boy Blues." "What are you going to do, Little Boy Blues? How shake a wicked shoe, Little Boy Blues?" "Little Bo-Pep, don't groan. Wait till I've gone and blown The tune on my saxophone, Little Bo-Pep." "That's not the way, you poor cheese, Little Boy Blues. Bend in some more at the knees, Little Boy Blues." "That's it, you're getting it, Bo! More of the pigeonish toe. Step on it, lady! Let's go, Little Bo-Pep!" "What say we do this for life, Little Bo-Pep? You'd not be so worse as a wife, Little Bo-Pep." "Even though I wasn't set For matrimony as yet, I like you and so it's a bet, Little Boy Blues!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FAMED DANCER DIES OF PHOSPHORUS POISONING by RICHARD HOWARD ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN A DANCER'S LIFE by DONALD JUSTICE DANCING WITH THE DOG by SUSAN KENNEDY SONG FROM A COUNTRY FAIR by LEONIE ADAMS |
