Lyrics for Song: Flat-Footin' It
Lyrics for Album: Storyteller - Poet - Philosopher [Mercury] [1995]
(Tom T. Hall)
"It was the rage on campus in Roanoke when I was going to college. It's
kind of a buck dance. There was a folk movement going on at the time and
these kids got into flat-footin' it. It's a beautiful dance when you see the
young people doing it."
It started in Roanoke a little while ago
A brand new dance that you ought to know
They call it Flat-footin'-it and it sure looks fine
Right now it's flat-footin'-it time.
And you'll be flat-footin'-it flat-gittin'-it
And you don't know just how good you did
Till you hear that guitar pickin'-it-pickin'.
--- Instrumental ---
Just let your arms hang right where they are
And then you start flat-footin'-it eight to the bar
Turn yourself loose and the law will allow
And you'll be doin' that flat-footin'-it now.
You'll be flat-footin'-it flat-gittin'-it
You don't know just how good you did
Till you hear that drummer pickin'-it-pickin'.
--- Instrumental ---
It started in Roanoke and came a long way
And now it's a flat-footin'-it USA
Good for your spirits and good for your health
Girl try a little flat-footin'-it yourself.
And you'll be flat-footin'-it flat-gittin'-it
You don't know just how good you did
Till you hear that bass still a-pickin'-it-pickin'.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, all of the students at the university
Shocked and amazed the existin' faculty
Some dropped biology and some cut their math
To enroll in a flat-footin' class.
Flat-footin'-it flat-gittin'-it
You don't know just how good you did
Till you hear that band a-pickin'-it-pickin'...
