Lyrics
- Who would like to do
A step that’s new? would you?
Then stop, look, and listen
Be prepared to see
A dance that we agree
Will soon be famous and its name is
Chorus
Zig-Zag, Zig-Zag, here’s the way that it goes
Zig-Zag, Zig-Zag, this’ll tickle your toes
Do it with pep if your frivolous feet
Want to get hep to a step that is neat
Then right now learn how we do this musical treat
Zig-Zag, Zig-Zag, you’ll get on to it soon
Don’t drag! Don’t lag, and remember the tune
You will be found where they’re jazzin’ around
Getting a dancing jag, When you can Zig Zag
Zig-Zag ’round to the Zig-Zag rag
- Get your steppers set
You’ll get it yet, I’ll bet
Now watch, look! that’s easy
Trot and then get hot
I tell you what you’ve got
The pep that’s very neccessary
