Refrain Lyrics
You ought to to see Mr. Jones when he rattles his bones
Old Colonel Brown dancin round like a clown
Miss Virginia past 83
I'm full of, full of pep
Watch your step, watch your step
One legged Joe dancin round on his toe
Threw away his crutches, hollered "Let er go!"
Hail, Hail the gang's all here
For the Alabma Jubilee
