West End Blues

So tall and slender Daddy was a charmer He was a handsome man But when he'd move it Lord the ladies lose it Daddy was a dancin' man When he was dancing Daddy swept the floor He called it siftin' sand So light and graceful Not a step was wasteful Daddy was a dancin' man And when the young men They'd come a-courtin' They'd try to take my hand They'd buck and wing But it didn't mean a thing 'Cause Daddy was the dancin' man So tall and slender Daddy was a charmer He was a handsome man But when he'd move it Lord the ladies lose it Daddy was a dancin' man
