Riverboat Shuffle

All you cotton toters

Mississippi floaters

Gather all about!

Gather all about!

Got some things to tell ya

Not a thing to sell ya

Listen and you'll all find out

What I'm about to say

WIll take your breath away

So, come a little closer

Just a little closer

Got a lotta news to shout! Say!

Good people, you're invited tonight

To the Riverboat Shuffle!

Good people, we got rhythm tonight

At the Riverboat Shuffle!

They tell me that slidepipe tooter is grand

Best in Loosianna;

So bring your freighter, come and alligator that band

Mister Hawkins on the tenor!

Good people, you'll hear Milenberg Joys

In a special orches-stration!

Even Mamma Dinah will be there to strut for the boys

I'n a room full of noise

She'll teach you to shuffle it right

So, bring your baby;
