"Short Shorts" - Royal Teens

[Fiji Hill]

Here's Van McCoy, from Columbia Hights in Washington, DC, long before he got the disco craze going with "The Hustle":

The Birdland--The Starlighters (1958)

All of the boss Birdlanders Birdland across the floor.
Here comes Short Fat Fannie, Birdlanding through the door.
Here comes Long Tall Sally, man, she is no square.
Birdlanding with Skinny Minnie. They're Birdlanding everywhere.

And they're jamming in the kitchen, really swinging in the basement,
Going up and down and Birdlanding around and around.

Here comes Dede Dinah, Birdlanding on the stage.
Oh, she's a boss Birdlander, and you know what I mean.
Here comes Dizzy Lizzie, Birdlanding with a cat named Joe.
The others in the corner shouting, "go, Lizzie! Go! Go! Go!"

And they're jamming in the kitchen, really swinging in the basement,
Going up and down and Birdlanding around and around.

Dance! Dance! Dance!
Come on, baby, dance!
