Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I’ll slide that Cubanola Glide
But that’s no ecstasy
I’m getting tired of dancing
To that Mendelssohn strain
It has lost its charm for me
Out in San Francisco there’s the “Grizzly bear”
They dance it everywhere that’s true
But there’s a little movement, honey
I will show to you
Chorus
Oh, babe, tell it to me
Can you do the angle-worm wiggle with me?
When I dance that wiggling dance
I simply have to giggle with glee
So, hold me tight, don’t you let me fall
Sway me round the hall
To that angle-worm crawl
Oh, babe, tell it to me
Can you do that angle-worm wiggle with me?
- Don’t tease, I like to hug and squeeze
But not just now my hon’
Oh, please don’t kiss me
Like you would your mother, no more
Kissing that way is no fun
When we’re out in ‘Frisco we will have the “Bear”
But, I don’t care to swing it now
Oh, there’s that little movement honey
Let me show you how
