Chords

As recorded by Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs (From the 1968 Album 10 OF PENTACLES) [Intro] Gm Bb F [Verse 1]
    Bb
You heard of the boogaloo down Broadway

Bb
Heard of the jingle jang

                                Gm
You heard of the African twist, now

    C7                F7
But you ain't heard a thing

    Bb               D7
You don't need an education

   Eb                   Ebm
To learn how to do this dance

Bb                Gm
All you need is a flip sensation

        C7       F7     Bb
And the nerve to take a chance
[Chorus]
Bb                 Gm
It's the down home strut

                        Bb
You just hold your head up

                  Gm
Now, just keep in time

             Bb   F7
Drag a leg behind
[Verse 2]
Bb
Some of you think I'm goofin'

Bb
And city folks laugh at me

                               Gm
But the folks down home have a groove of their own

         C7             F7
And it's cool as it can be

Bb                     D7
If you think you wanna do it

    Eb                      Ebm
You gotta hold your head up high

Bb                   Gm
Put one hand on your hip, now

        C7         F7      Bb
And the other down by your side
[Chorus]
Bb                 Gm
It's the down home strut

                        Bb
You just hold your chin up

             Gm
Drag a leg behind

                  Bb   F7
Now, just keep in time
[Saxophone Solo] Bb Gm Bb Gm C F [Out-Chorus]
Bb                 Gm
It's the down homе strut

                        Bb
You just hold your head up

                  Gm
Now, just keep in time

             Bb
Drag a leg bеhind

                  Gm
Now, you drop one hip

                  Bb
Let your back leg flip

                   Gm
It's the down home strut

                   Bb   Gm
Keep your head way up
