TENNESSEE WIG WALK
(Larry Coleman / Norman Gimbel)

Bonnie Lou - 1954
Also recorded by : Russ Morgan & His Orch.;
The Deighton Family; Dan Zanes.




Im a bow-legged chicken, Im a knock kneed hen
Never been so happy since I dont know when
I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doing the Tennessee wig walk.

Hear a tune on the fiddle and my hearts aflow ???
Though Im 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 well always be together side by side,
I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doing the Tennessee wig walk

Bertie Mee said to Don Revie

"Have you heard of the North Bank, Highbury?"

Don said "No, I don't think so - but I've heard of the Gelderd Aggro"
