East Side Stomp
(Dave Hoyt, w/ some verses by Dave Burton)
1.
Everybody gather round,
Over on the East side of town
We’re gonna do the East Side Stomp
Take a good look around,
There’s nothing better to be found
We’re doin the ESS
Everybody is having fun
You won’t quit once you’ve begun
We’re doin the ESS
Everybody will be there
From Henry down to Blair
Come on, don’t be square!
We’re gonna do the ESS
2.
Put down the shovel and the rake
We’re gonna make the windows shake
We’re doin the ESS
Pick up your dancing shoes
We’ve found a way to lose the blue
We’re doin the ESS
Don’t let it pass you by
All you need to do is try
Come on and do the ESS
[bridge needs to be written for this verse]
3.
At five o’clock in the morning
We’re gonna give the early warning
It’s time to do the ESS
You can beat me, you can cheat me
But you aren’t ever gonna keep me
From doin the ESS
Let me make you a little bet
That you’re never ever gonna forge
How to do the ESS
Anybody can do it with ease
You just dance around in the breeze
Come on and catch the disease!
That makes you do the ESS
4.
Give your booty a shake, and
Take a walk down Lakeland
And do the ESS
All your old friends will be coming
To the party over on Dunning
We’re gonna do the ESS
Yes, tonight won’t we all
Be stompin down Ingersoll
We’re gonna do the ESS!
Where Johnson turns to Gorham
Turn yourself around and
Drive down Willie til you’re silly
And come on and do the ESS!
