Lyrics
Dancing mad, hear my heart beat,
Look at my feet startin’ to glide.
I’m so glad, goin’ back home,
Never to roam, still I’m not riding.

Dancing shoes, got ‘em all set,
Ready to get started today.
No more blues, look at my pep!
Ready to step! Out of my way! Say!

CHORUS
I’m gonna Charleston back
To my old shack
In Charleston, Charleston,
Hang my hat up on the rack
In Charleston, Charleston.
I’m so full of joy today,
I could Charleston all the way,
Till I land in someone’s empty arms.
Say I can almost hear those
Southern darkies hummin’, strummin’
That old fav’rite melody of mine.
Feet don’t let me wait,
Hit that road and syncopate.
I’ll Charleston back to Charleston, Caroline.

PATTER
First saw light in Charleston,
Grew up right in Charleston,
Learn’d to dance in Charleston,
Found romance in Carolina,
Proud that I’m from Charleston,
Had good times in Charleston,
Charleston! Hey! Hey!
On my way today.

Say I can almost hear those
Southern darkies hummin’, strummin’
That old fav’rite melody of mine.
Feet don’t let me wait,
Hit that road and syncopate.
I’ll Charleston back to Charleston, Caroline.
