Well, here we are back in the roaring '20s
A decade on and its much-changed plenty
Okay, alright where are the flying cars
And I thought that someone said that we'd be living in Mars
Doc Brown went and visited 2015
So where's my hoverboard
Hey that's just mean
Back in the '20s 'twas to dance with the vibe
It was holly addictive
Shall we give it a try?
Charleston! Charleston! Made in Carolina
Some dance, some prance, I'll say, there's nothing finer
Than the Charleston, Charleston. See, how you can shuffle
Every step you do leads to something new
Man, I'm telling you it's a lapazoo
Buck dance, wing dance, will be a back number
But the Charleston, the new Charleston, that dance is surely a comer
Sometimes you'll dance it one time
The dance called the Charleston
Made in South Caroline
Charleston! Charleston! Made in Carolina
Some dance, some prance, I'll say, there's nothing finer
One hundred years on, exactly what have we achieved
The aliens' ward have led us to believe
What are the chances of it hidin' under my bed?
Well, a million to one they said
No hoverboards, aliens, or living on Mars
Can't catch a bus up to the stars
Hey we may never reach the abyss
And day trips to Jupiter, we can only wish
But I know a dance that goes a bit like this
And here we go
Charleston! Charleston! Made in Carolina
Some dance, some prance, I'll say, there's nothing finer
Than the Charleston, Charleston. See, how you can shuffle
Every step you do leads to something new
Man, I'm telling you it's a lapazoo
Buck dance, wing dance, will be a back number
But the Charleston, the new Charleston, that dance is surely a comer
Sometimes you'll dance it one time
That dance called Charleston
Made in South Caroline
Indeed it was hmmm
