Old New Orleans is a great big old southern town, where hospitality you will surely find 
The population there is very, very fair, with ev'rything they do 
White folks do it too, they have a dance surely it's something rare there 
Glide, slide, prance, dance, hop, stop 
Take it easy honey! 
Hmm 
I can never git tired of dancin' those Hop Scop Blues 
Once more you glide, slide, prance, dance 
The Hop Scop Blues will make you do a lovely shake 
They'll make you feel so grand when you join hand in hand, 
I'll never git tired of dancin' those Hop Scop Blues 
Once more you glide, slide, prance, I said dance, oh, hop, now stop 
Take it easy honey! 
Oh 
I can never git tired of dancin' those Hop Scop Blues 
Look out now! 
You glide, slide, I said prance, dance 
Hop Scop Blues will make you do a lovely shake 
They'll make you feel so grand when you join hand in hand, 
I'll never git tired of dancin' those Hop Scop Blues
