Frank Poems: DISHY DANCIN’ MAN

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.

"House by the Railroad," Edward Hopper, 1925
