Zonky Fats Waller

Time to start dancing zonky
Start cutting loose, get honky-tonky
It's a good excuse, let your feelings run wild!

Shake your feet a-plenty, don't be haughty
Work a double twenty, that means forty
Make a noisy entry, act just like a big child!

I got such, well, you know
What I want to say
Hot much, that tempo
Sure is hot that way!

I'd bet a dime, guess a donut
Other dances they may come and go, but
When you learn the zonky
You will want it to stay!
