TENNESSEE WIG WALK - America - lyrics;
I'm a bow-legged chicken, I'm a knock kneed hen
Never been so happy since I don't know when
I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doing the Tennessee wig walk.
Hear a tune on the fiddle on the hardwood floor
Though I'm broke and weary and my back is sore
I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doing the Tennessee wig walk.
Put your toes together, your knees apart
Bend your back, get ready to start
Flap your elbows just for luck
Then you wiggle and you waddle like a baby duck.
Come and dance with me honey, tap your toes and glide
And we'll always be together side by side,
I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doing the Tennessee wig walk
(Larry Coleman / Norman Gimbel)
