The band’s on the back porch Just picking Johnson’s reel All the girls are in the yard Kicking up their heels So what, if you don't know the steps Just stomp some ground and fake it Grab what your momma gave ya And shake it, shake it, shake it Old Uncle Leroy, out under the old oak tree He's got a bottle wedged between his knees When no one’s looking, he takes a great big swing While the rest of the time he’s just chewing on an old twig He says the spirit is willing boys, but this flesh is so weak Half a bottle gone now, he's headed to the creek Well he baptized his demons and he splashed around awhile Now he's running naked through the yard, looking for a towel Before this night is over and his bottle is all gone We'll get him up on the porch, he's drunk enough to play along Old Uncle Leroy, he likes to thump the bass But he has a real hard time, keeping a steady pace The band’s on the back porch Just picking Johnson’s reel All the girls are in the yard Kicking up their heels So what, if you don't know the steps Just stomp some ground and fake it Grab what your momma gave ya And shake it, shake it, shake it Old Grandma got her laundry hanging up there on a string Dresses, shirts, and socks, and all those lacy underthings On laundry day she scrubs up everything except what she's got on When evening comes she is ready for some dancing on the lawn Everybody knows Grandma is the best dancer in the land She's stomping the yard, to beat the band Stomping and a twirling, she spins round and round She spins those skirts too fast and ends up on the ground Eyes up boys, or you may get to know Grandma’s got no undies on, it's a laundry day peep show The band’s on the back porch Just picking Johnson’s reel All the girls are in the yard Kicking up their heels So what, if you don't know the steps Just stomp some ground and fake it Grab what your momma gave ya And shake it, shake it, shake it The band’s on the back porch Just picking Johnson’s reel All the girls are in the yard Kicking up their heels So what, if you don't know the steps Just stomp some ground and fake it Grab what your momma gave ya And shake it, shake it, shake it The band’s on the back porch Just picking Johnson’s reel All the girls are in the yard Kicking up their heels So what, if you don't know the steps Just stomp some ground and fake it Grab what your momma gave ya And shake it, shake it, shake it
