[Verse 1]

There was a cat from Brooklyn, by the name of Romeo

His folks, they came from Italy, many years ago

One night, he met young Geraldine, a dame from outta town

When Geraldine was dancing she would bring the ballroom down

[Chorus]

Wave those paws in the air

Spin around like Fred Astaire

Slip me five and we can jive

That's Geraldine's routine

Lift those puppies off the ground

Swing those hips, and shake them down

(It's rag, it's razz, it's snazzy jazz)

It's Geraldine's routine

Wave those paws in the air

Spin around like Fred Astaire

Slip me five and we can jive

That's Geraldine's routine

Lift those puppies off the ground

Swing those hips, and shake them down

(Let's hump, let's jump, let's thumpety-bump)

It's Geraldines routine

[Verse 2]

Her mama was a stripper, and so was Geraldine

She learned to strip at Mardi Gras, way down in New Orleans

Romeo was whacky, he was dizzy for this dame

He learned a dance and got the chance to be Geraldine's new flame

[Chorus]

Wave those paws in the air

Spin around like Fred Astaire

Slip me five and we can jive

That's Geraldine's routine

Lift those puppies off the ground

Swing those hips, and shake them down

(It's rag, it's razz, it's snazzy jazz)

It's Geraldine's routine

Wave those paws in the air

Spin around like Fred Astaire

Slip me five and we can jive

That's Geraldine's routine

Lift those puppies off the ground

Swing those hips, and shake them down

(Let's hump, let's jump, let's thumpety-bump)

It's Geraldine's routine

[Bridge]

Okay, here she comes ladies and gentlemen

Here comes Geraldine

Look out guys

Shake that thing, ha ha!

[Chorus]

Wave those paws in the air

Spin around like Fred Astaire

Slip me five and we can jive

That's Geraldine's routine

Lift those puppies off the ground

Swing those hips, and shake them down

(It's rag, its razz, its snazzy jazz)

It's Geraldine's routine

Wave those paws in the air

Spin around like Fred Astaire

Slip me five and we can jive

That's Geraldine's routine

Lift those puppies off the ground

Swing those hips, and shake them down

(Let's hump, let's jump, let's thumpety-bump)

It's Geraldine's routine
