There was a cat from Brooklyn, by the name of Romeo
His folks they came from Italy, many years ago
One night he met young Geraldine, a dame from outta town
When Geraldine was dancing she would bring the ballroom down

Wave those paws in the air
Spin around like Fred Astaire
Slip me five and we can jive
That's Geraldines routine

Lift those puppies off the ground
Swing those hips, and shake them down
It's rag it's razz its snazzy jazz
It's Geraldines routine

Wave those paws in the air
Spin around like Fred Astaire
Slip me five and we can jive
That's Geraldines routine

Lift those puppies off the ground
Swing those hips, and shake them down
Let's hump let's jump let's thumpety-bump
It's Geraldines routine

Her mama was a stripper, so was Geraldine
She learned to strip at Mardi Gras, way down in New Orleans
Romeo was whacky, he was dizzy for this dame
He learned a dance and got the chance to be Geraldines new flame

Wave those paws in the air
Spin around like Fred Astaire
Slip me five and we can jive
That's Geraldines routine

Lift those puppies off the ground
Swing those hips, and shake them down
It's rag its razz its snazzy jazz
It's Geraldines routine

Wave those paws in the air
Spin around like Fred Astaire
Slip me five and we can jive
That's Geraldines routine

Lift those puppies off the ground
Swing those hips, and shake them down
Let's hump let's jump let's thumpety-bump
It's Geraldines routine

Okay, here she comes, ladies and gentlemen
Here comes Geraldine
Look out guys
Shake that thing ha ha

Wave those paws in the air
Spin around like Fred Astaire
Slip me five and we can jive
That's Geraldines routine

Lift those puppies off the ground
Swing those hips, and shake them down
It's rag its razz its snazzy jazz
It's Geraldines routine

Wave those paws in the air
Spin around like Fred Astaire
Slip me five and we can jive
That's Geraldines routine

Lift those puppies off the ground
Swing those hips, and shake them down
Let's hump let's jump let's thumpety-bump
It's Geraldines routine
