Frank Poems: DISHY DANCIN’ MAN

"Jitterbugging in juke joint, Saturday evening, outside Clarksdale, Mississippi, 1939." Wikipedia article on jitterbug.

Bibby can’ boogie
But ya Babba can
So if you boogie, baby,
It bedda be with Gran.

Daddy can’ dance
But ya Mammy can
So when it come to dancin’
Take Mammy by the han’.

Sister does the jitterbug
But ya brother don’.
Sweet baby, if you jitterbug,
Don’ jitterbug alone.

So when you grows up, baby,
Make sure you matrimone
With a jitterbuggyboogie
Dishy dancin’ man.
