lyrics

Mary was a dancing at the lindy hop ball
Boy she danced amazin', blazin' star of the hall
Boogie and a swinging, saw ‘r pretty long legs
And I was thinking ‘bout-a steaming hot steps

At the lindy hop blues
(Lindy hop lindy hop lindy hop blues)
Lindy hop blues
(Lindy hop)
At the lindy hop
Oh man
My mind went pop

Courting dancing Mary at the lindy hop ball
In Spring and summer up until a sunny blue fall
Silky white dress ‘round ’r pretty long legs
And I carried ‘r up the lindy church steps

At the lindy hop blues
(Lindy hop lindy hop lindy hop blues)
Lindy hop blues
(Lindy hop)
At the lindy hop
Oh man
My mind went pop

Mary kept on dancing at the lindy hop ball
Eyed by ev’ry hopper and she saw them all
Rumors were a spreading ‘bout ‘r pretty long legs
And I dreamed of dancers and steaming hot steps

At the lindy hop blues
(Lindy hop lindy hop lindy hop blues)
Lindy hop blues
(Lindy hop)
At the lindy hop
Oh man
My mind went pop

Mary was the dance star of the lindy hop ball
Kelly, Fred Astair; yet I’m better then all
Hit her on the head, flipped ‘r pretty long legs
And I buried Mary near the lindy church steps

At the lindy hop blues
(Lindy hop lindy hop lindy hop blues)
Lindy hop blues
(Lindy hop)
At the lindy hop
Oh man
My mind went pop
