Well, down in Tennessee, close to Mississippi

'Bout a mile out of Toulouse, on the way to Memphis

There's a road turning south that's rather rocky and tricky

But it dead-ends right up to the Club Nitty-Gritty



They do the Mess Around

The Watusi

The Hully Gully

The Mashed Potato

And oh-oh they started Twisting

They did the Shimmy

Ah! They were Jerking
