| We had to have something new
|
| A dance to do
|
| Up here in Harlem
|
| So, everyone start Truckin'
|
| As soon as the news got 'round
|
| The folks downtown
|
| Came up to Harlem
|
| Saw everybody Truckin'
|
| It didn’t take long
|
| Before the high-hats were doing it
|
| 'Park Avenuing' it
|
| All over town
|
| You see them shufflin', shufflin', shufflin' down
|
| It spread like a forest blaze
|
| Became a craze
|
| Thanks to Harlem now
|
