Truckin' - Fats Waller, WALLER, THOMAS 'FATS'

We had to have something new

A dance to do

Up here in Harlem

So, everyone start Truckin'

As soon as the news got 'round

The folks downtown

Came up to Harlem

Saw everybody Truckin'

It didn’t take long

Before the high-hats were doing it

'Park Avenuing' it

All over town

You see them shufflin', shufflin', shufflin' down

It spread like a forest blaze

Became a craze

Thanks to Harlem now

Everybody’s Truckin'

It didn’t take long

Before the high-hats were doing it

'Park Avenuing' it

All over town

You see them shufflin', shufflin', shufflin' down

It spread like a forest blaze

Became a craze

Thanks to Harlem now

Everybody’s Truckin'
