The South Dakota Shuffle (by Samm Bennett)

From a show at Nanahari, a venue in Tokyo. I'm playing the Dan Moi, a Vietnamese jawharp. This performance features only the first 2 verses of the song, and the 2nd verse I, well, kinda screwed up! D'oh! Oh well... here's the song lyrics:

the south dakota shuffle
it's a helluva dance
but you're never gonna do it
you'll never have the chance
now it's an easy move
but nobody's ever done it
like first prize for losing
nobody's ever won it

it ain't trying to hide
but nobody's ever seen it
it's spread wide open
but you can't get between it
'bout the size of an amoeba
but you can't get around it
dunno if anybody's looked
but nobody's ever found it

you say you still wanna try it
but i'm sorry friend
it never had no beginning
and it's never gonna end
you'll never catch up
n'you can't fall behind
can't even think about it
or get it outta your mind

now don't be disappointed
it's the same for everyone
they forgot to put a bullet
in the starting gun
i know you wanna dance
got your feathers in a ruffle
but that's all i got to say
about the south dakota shuffle
