Oh Johnny Ella Fitzgerald 1917 | (Hi Hat 314) Joel Kadish |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic
Walk around your corner girl then swing with your maid
The men all star left, find your girl, star promenade
Put your arm around that girl, I say
You can back right out, a full turn, chain the girls across I
say
You turn that pretty miss, then you chain her back home
Turn her left, then you roll promenade
Take that girl home I say, there you swing and you sway
Singing, "Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, oh"
FIGURE A1, corner progression
Now the head 2 ladies chain and you turn her you do
The same 2 will swing thru and then you star thru
With the outside two do a right & left thru
You turn a girl and dive thru, star thru, then cross trail thru
U-turn back, star thru, pass thru and swing
Swing that girl then promenade
*Well you might steal a kiss, go home swing that miss
Singing, "Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, oh"
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Hey, all wink your eye, go home swing that guy
*All smile and say, "How are you today?"
*Bend over, kiss her cheek, golly ain't that sweet
