From the Broadway Musical "The Girl From Utah" (1914) (Lyrics: James Henry Burris / Music: Chris Smith)
First you put your two knees close up tight You sway 'em to the left and then you sway 'em to the right You step around the floor kind of nice and light And then you swing around swing around with all your might
Spread your lovin' arms away out into space You do the Eagle Rock with style and grace You put your lip like out , you bringing it back And that's what they call "Ballin' the Jack"
First you put your two knees close up tight You sway 'em to the left and then you sway 'em to the right You step around the floor kind of nice and light And then you twist around and twist around with all of your might
Spread your lovin' arms away out into space You do the Eagle Rock with style and grace You put your lip like out , you bring'em it back And that's what they call "Ballin' the Jack"
First you put your two knees close up tight You sway 'em to the left and then you sway 'em to the right You step around the floor kind of nice and light And then you twist around twist around with all your might
Stretch your lovin' arms and we are into space You do the Eagle Rock with style and grace You put your lip like out , you bring'em it back And that's what they call "Ballin' the Jack"
