Lyrics
- Dances come and dances go
On their merry way
But there’s a new one that they’re doin’
That has come to stay
Every little “Flapper”
And her dapper little beau
Is flapping around to the wonderful sound
Of the “Flapper Walk,” you know
Chorus
Come and do that “Flapper walk”
They’ll all be doin’ it, doin’ it, doin’ it
Something to that “Flapper Walk”
They’ll all be doin’ it, doin’ it, doin’ it
Older folks who hunger
To be ten years younger
Viewing it, start doin’ it
Doin’ that dapper, “Flapper Walk”
Once you do that “Flapper Walk”
You’ll keep on doin’ it, doin’ it, doin’ it
You’ll flap your wings and say
“Never go home till morning”
Dance till break of day
Don’t want to hit the old hay-hay
When you’re doin’ the new one
They call the “Flapper Walk”
- How my friends all had to coax
“Get out on that floor”
Oh, how they pleaded, they succeeded
Don’t coax any more
Once I was a “napper”
But a “Flapper” captured me
Just happen around where they’re flappin’ around
And that’s where I’m sure to be
