The Fat Black Woman's Instructions to a Suitor
Do the boogie-woogie
Do the hop
Do the Charlestown
Do the rock
Do the chicken funky
Do the foxtrot
Do the tango
Drop yourself like a mango
Do the minuet
Spin me a good ole pirouette
Do the highland fling
Get down baby
Do that limbo thing
After doing all that and maybe mo
hope you have a little energy left
to carry me across the threshold
