Lyrics
Johnson Flood, Mississippi Mud
Black Bottom, I got ’em
Lindy Hop, Chop chop chop
Ch-ch-ch Charlotte Russe
Turn on the juice
Chorus
Hep Hep there goes the Johnson Rag
Hoy Hoy there goes the latest shag
Ho Ho it really isn’t a gag
Hep Hep there goes the Johnson Rag
Jump Jump don’t let your left foot drag
Jeep Jeep it’s like a game of tag
Juke Juke it’s even good for a stag
Jump jump and do the Johnson Rag
If your feelin’ in the groove
It sends you out of the world
Funny how it makes you move
I don’t wanna coax
But don’t be a “Mokes”
Zig Zig Then add a Zig Zig Zag
Zoop Zoop just let your shoulders wag
Zoom Zoom and now it’s right in the bag
Get hep And get happy with the Johnson Rag
