Oh boy, what a dance I saw, down yonder in Baltimore,
Done to a brand new tune.
In most every caberet from Dixie to Frisco Bay,
They'll all be doing it soon.
There's a dance, got 'em Like Black Bottom called Baltimore
Oh baby, that step has got a rhythm that's hot.
When they start playin, then you start swayin' like an old seesaw,
When you start steppin' about, get up and shout, "Hey!"
First you count the beat and double it,
Then repeat, and then you just
Slide your feet right over the floor.
There's a dance, got 'em like never did before.
No sir, that new twister called Baltimore!

Because despite all the vitriol on FR any time it comes up, Baltimore WAS a truly great city - before 1968.
