[V.C. Brunswick]

All I Want To Do Do Do Is Dance (1929)

Every girl has some ambition
Likewise I have mine
Just to gain a high position
Near the sun that shines
There are lots of ways to get there
I suppose
As for me I'll try to get there
On my toes

For I don't want to drive a Packard
Drive a Packard that's highly lacquered
All I want to do do do is dance
And say, I don't care for that queer sensation
Everybody gets from aviation
All I want to do do do is dance

Don't care for bridge or polo
Tennis or roulette
Don't want to sing a solo
In an operette
To play in melodrama
That would bore me
I can let my feet do my acting for me
All I want to do do do is dance

[Seraph1227]

Robert Johnson's " Walkin Blues"
She's got Elgin movement
from her head down to her toes
break in on a dollar
most anywhere she goes."

This one really cooks and I love the lyrics, they just kill me.

Fletcher Henderson A.H.O. 1931 "my sweet tooth says I wanna" (but my wisdom tooth says no).

This second version by Ben Selvin and the Pickens sisters is also great.
