A Jazz Dance 1940's Poem by Shirley Morgan

A Jazz Dance 1940's



Dancing and she knew all the steps
The girl with the polka dotted dress
grew up on Hoboken streets
of New Jersey
if she learned how to do anything as the jukebox whirled
it was dance.
her partner egged her on

groove girl
groove girl
She clapped her hand
as she did her dance
to the beat, holding
onto her polka dotted dress
she tried to impress
the gentlemen' got excited
saying, come on girl let me, swing
you around and let's get on down.
Just don't step on my Stacy adam's shoes
girl. Do that dance and let's romance girl to the beat.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The girl with the polka dotted dress
grew up on hoboken streets of New Jersey.
If she learned how to do anything as the jukebox whirled
it was dance.
Her partner egged her on
groove girl.
groove girl.
She clapped her hands as she did her dance
to the beat, holding onto her polka dotted dress
she tried to impress.
The gentlemen's got excited saying, come on girl
let me, swing you around and let's get on down.
Just don't step on my Stacy Adam's shoes girl!
Do that dance and let's romance girl to the beat.
