Lyrics Peckin' - Original - Cab Calloway and His Orchestra

Peckin' - Original

You talk about your truckin' when your peckin' is new
Well, here’s a dance that you all should do:
You get 'way low down to the floor
And if you peck once, you’ll peck twice, you’ll peck it some more
You peck to the front, to the sides, to the back
Well, look at old Jim, he’s pecking on his back!
Peckin' to me is a lot of fun
Well, you peck one, and I’ll peck one, well, we’ll all peck one!
It’s the dance we all should do
In the place of the Suzy-Q;
Well, come on folks, lend me your ears awhile
And I’ll guarantee you, your little tootsie-wootsies will sure run wild
You peck to the east, and then you peck to the west
Then you peck, peck, peck 'til you’ve pecked your best
Well, then okay, well, a-hey, hey
We’ll peck up, we’ll peck up, we’ll peck up the floor.
Yeah!
